·Hi!
For many years I have had this Omega 9 ct rose gold, 33 mm diameter, in my drawer, it was found in the 70s by my dad while digging in our garden. The clock runs somehow but needs an overhaul.
Movement: 17 jewels, Omega 420, 14239907
Year: 1954 (according to online tables)
Case back: waterresistant dustproof antimagnetic; Omega watch co, 171136, 9ct
I am absolutely not an expert, but I would like to know something more about this watch. And I would like to restore it. So here I got some questions for you:
1. Is it a particular model or we can say generically “gents dress watch”?
2. Someone told me it is a redial. Because I am learning I would like to know how can you tell it. Because “SWISS MADE” is missing? Font is not proper?
3. Omega logo is missing. Is it available as spare part? Or should I go for a complete original dial?
Any comment or other suggestion will be appreciated. Thank you!
