Can someone help me identify my late grandfather's watch?

Izak · Sep 18, 2024

My grandmother recently gave me my grandfather's Omega but we have very little information about it. I will be taking it to a watch maker for service and clean up, but would like to know something like reference number or anything else.
I know it's a self wind movement and the crown has been replaced, and I know it must have been around 1960's.
Also if anyone knows what kind of strap or bracelet it originally came with?

Any info will be appreciated.

There is no Automatic on dial, that means the dial was reprinted wrongly.
You can open the case back and have a look inside the case back and the movement.

i had a guy reach out to me saying it could be a 1964 Omega Seamaster 135.005
It won't say Automatic on the dial as it is hand winding and not automatic if I understand it correctly.

The shape of the caseback indicates to me that it's an automatic, so not a 135.005..
It has a sub-standard re-dial but that's of no significance as this is a sentimental piece.

The markings on the inside of the caseback and on the movement will tell you exactly what you have.
