Can anyone tell me anything about this watch my father left me? And some advice.

I agree to give the local watchmaker a try.

I would ask about Omega experience, does he have or did he have a parts account, plans for the watch, any Omega training or certifications......

Should be solid gold according to that hallmark. Just soak it in soapy water and rinse it and you should be good to go.

I'm hoping this is advice for the bracelet only, not dunking the watch too which will not take kindly to the wetting!

It'd be a crying shame to soak that dial.

Update: Just took the watch in to my local repairman to get serviced, but I was able to take a picture of the inside back of the case, if this can help anyone figure out which model it is.

Thank you.

Classic watch with a “bumper” movement. It’s a classic. You have received good advice about the service. Just make sure and have a good conversation with the watchmaker and make sure they are comfortable and feel good about servicing your watch.

I’m no help on the particular model because I don’t know what I’m talking about. I can say you’re one of about a hundred posters with an inherited watch that anyone here. Your father (or whoever bought that watch) was not screwing around when he selected it.
