Is this really a vintage Omega movement?

I'm trying to learn a bit about vintage Omegas.
The bridges look odd to me.
Supposedly a circa 1960 manual wind Seamaster with sub-seconds.

Answer:
it sort of looks like a cal. 550 movement from the price catalog, but I can't be sure from the catalog picture. That would be circa 1959/60. Demand better pictures if you are unsure. good luck.
Answer:
the OP's movement is manual-wind. The movement, from what you can see, looks like a Fontainemelon (FHF) movement of some sort. This is not an Omega movement from 1960. The watch is probably an old fake.

More proof of the risk of buying a watch with only blurry pictures. Look on for something better.
Answer:
I appreciate the reply. Looking at FHF movements, I see why you believe it is one.
A definite, "I'll pass!"
