Hello Omega enthusiasts! I am hoping some of you can help me correctly identify this watch. I have scoured the Internet looking for information on it and have only found one photo/description which exactly matches this watch and that was in a German Omega catalog from the 80's. It belonged to my late husband so I can't ask him about it. I also have a Ladies' Omega watch which he gave to me about 10 or 15 years ago and I cannot find any information on that one, other than what I have found on the watch itself.

I would like to sell both of them, but I do not know very much about their possible value and I don't want to be taken advantage of. I am hoping someone here can advise me. I have contacted Omega and so far, they have not gotten back to me.
Here is what I have found on the Polaris:
International collection: 1988
Movement: Quartz electronic analogic
Caliber number: 1441, 6 jewels, Central sweep second hand
Functions: Date
Case: 18k Gold with titanium inlays in the housing
Case back: Press-in
Dial: Champagne with luminous hour markers and luminous "stick" hands.
Crystal: Scratch-resistant sapphire
Bracelet: Gold/Titanium(integrated)
Water resistance: 30 meters
Serial #: 49018778
The numbers on the inside back of my watch are 396.1022 and 396.1222. According to Omega's website those numbers are for a Polaris which has a stainless steel bracelet and solid gold bezel. 396.1222 has day & date and chronometer. Mine has just the date.
The closest one I could find to my husband's on Omega's website vintage watch search was 396.1121. However, that one has a titanium case with gold inlays. Mine is gold with titanium inlays. Also, 396.1121 has a titanium bracelet. Mine is 18k gold with titanium inserts in the bracelet.

For the Ladies' watch, this is all I know:
The numbers I found on the inside back of the watch are AA7831 and 21149.
14k gold
17 jewels
485 movement
Serial #34083363

I am including pictures of both watches and the German Omega catalog. Since it is in German, and I do not speak German, I used Google Translate. In case some of you also do not speak German, here is the translation (I have no idea how accurate it is!):

Thank you for the information and condolences. He had good taste in everything...watches, guns, coins, knives. Oh, and me. lol

 

I know I am bumping a super old thread…. But I have been checking this tread in general and that Polaris in particular many times now… I love Polaris and have a somewhat uncommon version myself in titanium and Palladium with factory set diamond dial.

If you by any chance read this and consider selling it I would like to buy.
