Can someone help me identify this watch? I bought it at an antique store.

If you google the reference (2709, from the caseback), the first result is Omega's listing for it, describing it as a Trésor. Enjoy, looks like a beauty.

I found that result but my dial has 12, 2, 4, 6, 10 and has a sub-seconds dial. The Trésor on the Omega site doesn't show that and I searched other Trésors and didn't see those features. Maybe it's a special edition or something

Each reference has many different dial variants (sometimes a huge number), so one does not generally use the specific dial as a factor in determining the reference or the model. Quite often you won't even find many other examples of a given variant posted on the internet. The OVD typically has just one representative example. And for your watch, 2709 is the specific reference, which will always have a seconds sub-dial, "Tresor" refers to a larger category of watches, IIRC, and some of them might even have central sweep seconds.

And to be clear: Trésor and bumper are not mutually exclusive: this is a Trésor with a bumper movement. I'm not any expert, at all, but 'Trésor' is a broad term, as well, covering lots of references (2894, 2644, 2805, 2687, etc etc).

Very helpful, thanks

What is OVD and what is IIRC?

If you guys click the link I sent, the description mentions "Calatrava". Any idea what this means?

- Omega vintage database

- If I recall correctly

- Calatrava is a model of Patek Philippe watch that is often misused by unscrupulous sellers.

BTW, google can answer all of these questions for you.

Nice grab. Service movement only. Polish the crystal. No case or dial work. Replace strap. It’s toast.

Hey everyone, I found this watch in an antique store in New Hampshire.
Welcome aboard! Depending on what you paid, that looks like a sweet pick-up to me, well done. It just caught my eye that although you found it in New Hampshire, the caseback carries a (helpfully credible) date inscribed using the European convention, "17 6 54", as well as three initials. It's often poignant to wonder how and where these little fellows lived earlier in their lives!
