··Vintage Omega AficionadoHi Welcome -
Yes, looks perfectly genuine. There were a huge variety of f300 Omegas offered.
Hand style matches well with the Berguet numerals, can't imagine someone would make this one up.

·If you will replace the glass and find a bracelet to fit it will be a very nice vintage watch..case edges looks good to me, and dial looks good.

··Vintage Omega AficionadoI forgot to mention that if it doesn't run I'd pass on it, it's nearly impossible to repair these movements.

And that could extend to "main hands function but date wheel doesn't change correctly". Plastic date wheels are notorious for giving up the ghost.
Test 1: Does it hum nicely?
Test 2: Do I like it?
Test 3: Does it all work correctly?
Test 4: Do I really want another hummer?
Test 5: What's next?

·Tbh I thought all the f300’s came with the one generic-to-type stubby hands-set, which this definitely isn’t.
If it works, and you like it, then grab it if the price is right.
As mentioned above, do check the date wheel. They break teeth.
If humming but not working there’s a few possible causes, of which a dead coil is a common cause.
Repairing these is specialised but Paul at electric-watches.uk and Rob Berkavicius in Thailand are two of the best. However there’s a few people on here who can recommend others to talk to in the USA and Europe
