City gets honour with swank surroundings (4)

I believe the answer is:

omsk

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'city' is the definition.
(I know that Omsk is a city)

'honour with swank surroundings' is the wordplay.
'honour' becomes 'om' (Order of Merit).
'with swank surroundings' becomes 'sk' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'om'+'sk'='OMSK'

'gets' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for omsk that I've seen before include "Russian port" , "Russian place" , "City of Asian Russia" , "City in Siberia" , "Womble" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
