·I think you're going to need to post better and bigger photos. And since the dial is pretty nondescript, you will probably need to post good photos of the inside.

Tbh I’m a total novice and don’t know much about watches. I’m not sure how to get into the back of it. If no one can help on here I’ll try and head into omega and see if they can identify it. Thanks anyway

·Better to take it to an independent watchmaker (watch repair shop) if you can find one around you. They will open it for you and you can take lots of photos. Take a lot because afterwards you'll that some aren't in focus, so you can just delete the bad ones. Then crop out the useful part of the good photos, and post good in-focus high resolution images. You can post big photos on this site, no problem.
Show all the numbers on the movement and anything written inside the caseback. Also, since it looks like a gold case, look around for any hallmarks or stamps indicating gold purity. Could be between the lugs where the straps are attached.
Do that, and you're going to get a ton of info from the members.

·Okay thanks I’ll take it into a watch makers. There is a stamp on the lugs indicating it’s 9ct gold. It’s also engraved as it was a present for 30 years of service in 1966 if that helps any.

·Many of the 9ct cased Omega watches were shipped as movements from Switzerland and cased by British case-makers, like Dennison.

·I have just been informed by an appraiser using those photos he thinks it’s a 269 calibre

·Quite possible given the mid-1960s timeline and the fact that it's a manual-winding movement. Of course it will be immediately obvious once you have it opened, so no real need for speculation. The dial damage could be from water intrusion near the crown, so the movement will need to be inspected. From what I can see, the case looks to be in pretty good condition.

·Apart from the slight dial water damage it’s in great overall condition. I’ve not wound it to see if it runs until it’s properly serviced. Thanks for your help I’ll get some numbers/pics when it is being serviced and post them.
