Good evening, I am Daniel and I am new to the forum.
I have a question about a watch that I got from my father. It is a gold Omega watch from 1958. I am trying to find out more about it, such as what kind of movement is a Cal 511? I can find very little about it and I wonder if it is that rare?

If you can help in anyway I would me very grateful.

The cal 511 is a hand-winding movement. Definitely not as commonly used as some other movements, but it's a perfectly good movement. I wouldn't worry about it. Pretty small, so maybe the watch itself is also small?

Did you want to post photos of the watch so we can see it?

Mid-century stylish.

Quite nice!

I like wearing vintage solid gold watches.
