Hi all. Thanks for allowing me to join this group. I recently acquired this watch and have been trying to find some more info on it. Specifically the model. I see most watches will say "sesmaster" or "geneve". this one simply says "Omega Automatic". I have been searching online and can't seem to find one similar. I was able to date it to 1966 based on the serial number.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Do you have a photo of the caseback inside?

Anyone?

You left out the crucial information: the number on the inside of the caseback. With that you can search the Omega Vintage database:

I wasn’t aware of that. Once I’m home I’ll get that number. Thanks.

There are a lot of references which are not included in the Omega online database, probably even more than are are actually included!

Do a simple Google search and you will find plenty of your reference.

So it appears that this watch is a DeVille. Thanks for all the help. I am learning a lot. This watch was picked up at a thrift store along with a constellation for $6 each. I’ve found other vintage watches and I am trying to learn as much as I can about them.

I think I’d quite like to see photos of your $6 Constellation...!

Here it is.
Edit: I’m going to bring the constellation in to have it cleaned and serviced.

Great catch - and factoring in the service is a must to get them back into regular circulation. Well done!

Thanks! I do a lot of thrift store shopping and see a lot of watches. Always keeping an eye out. Picked up a nice vintage Tudor Oyster for $20 last week.
