One suggestion on how NOT to restore it, would be to send it to Omega for a factory servicing. (don't do that!)
If given the chance they will make the watch pretty, but they will charge quite a lot for this and will also replace original parts willy-nilly.
As
@JimInOz says- find a
competent independent watchmaker.
Also (as I discovered) you want to avoid the sketchy guys at your local mall who specialize in replacing batteries on Quartz watches; rather, find someone whose specialty is repairing vintage watches. Service will likely be a few hundred dollars (roughly). It might be more than you paid for it. It's still likely to be worth it- as regular servicing should keep it running and running well for many years to come.
