Welcome
@slatermethuen and both congratulations on your inheritance and commiserations on the loss of your father.
You have a very nice dome dial dogleg constellation there.
‘63 is when Omega changed the reference from 14900 to 167.005, so it is an early version of this reference.
the watch is in pretty good condition for a 56 year old watch.
The case is really very good and it’s really important you not have it polished, a sonic clean is all that is required.
The dial has micro- bubbling of the lacquer and this is common for Connies.
If no one tries to clean the dial then it could stay like this for another 50 years.
The crown is original which is a bonus
The crystal can be polished but if you replace it then ask for a genuine Omega crystal. ( they have a tiny Omega symbol in the centre)
since you know the date of purchase, do you have the papers as well as the box?
