1965 ladies omega 17 jewel 484

rejd · Jan 10, 2020

Hi all. Found this watch at a thrift store today. The serial number date to 1965. It is a 17 jewel with the 484 movement. I believe the reference number on this one is 291-1777 based on the case back. Although when I search that nothing comes up. Anyone have any insight as to which model this watches?

thanks in advance.

IThe number in the back looks to be a case serial number that would only have meaning to the case manufacturer.

Omega, through their US distributor Norman Morris, Inc., made hundreds of different similar styles of women’s watches like this.

Swiss Omega movements and US made cases.

These are cute little watches and if you are/have/know a lady that would like it, then it’s worth having it serviced. The metal bracelet I don’t think is original- they usually came on a black rope type strap that was very elegant. Not sure who makes them anymore.

Looks like these:

I actually think that it is original. Note how the lugs fit the endpieces of the bracelet.

By the early 1960's, a lot of watch companies were using metal stretch bracelets as OEM.

You may be right- would need to see the clasp of course.
