·This watch was inherited from my dad; it was in a real state so I sent it back to Omega in Switzerland to be refurbished almost 12 years ago. At that time I wasn't into watches so I didn't ask for any details on the model, just happy to see it restored to a fantastic condition, probably at a far greater cost than the watch is worth!
However, I do now have a watch collection so am interested to understand the history of this one. I know my Dad bought it in 1970 +/- 1 year (so officially hit 50 yrs), and I know the Omega centre in SG tried to buy it from me when I wanted it restored, which puzzled me at the time since it had a green mouldy face, super scratched glass and quite plain!
I'm asking on this forum, because I currently live in China and definitely would not risk parting with it to get it authenticated; and due to COVID I can't get back to the UK.
Any insight into the model etc., would be greatly appreciated.
