Hello everyone. I recently found the omega that belonged to my father and am looking for information. I have Google around for a few days but have not found satisfactory data. It was purchased new around 1972 by my mother new from a jewelry store in Columbus indiana. What version is this? I have identified the grand prix face but that is about it. I welcome all information. Bracelet is original as well with marking omega and logo. Approximate value?
Looks like a ref 166.039. The watch came in many dial variations and the racing dial you have is IMO one of the nicer dial designs. Here is a link to one in stainless steel that is now in the possession of another forum member. Your example has had a rough life and there is considerable damage to the plating. As such, the value is going to be mostly sentimental. Hope this helps.
My favorite dial! Guessing ebay would bring around $250 to 300ish in this condition. Is it keeping time? Looks to have some moisture issues at some point. Here is a link to it on the mother ship: http://www.omegawatches.com/planet-omega/heritage/vintage-watches-database?ref=14283
