Help Identify my watch!

heresmymind · Feb 21, 2017

My grandfather passed away a few years ago, and one of the things that was given to me was his Omega Watch because I am the watch guy in the family. This style of dress watch is new to me, I usually wear tactical watches. I am looking for some help in identifying it. I do have the original band that goes with it, it was too small to fit my wrist so it is wrapped in a nice velvet bag. Any help would be appreciated. It functions well, and does not have any scratches or marring on it that I can find.

Hey @heresmymind - welcome along.

We'd be happy to help, but need you to help yourself first.

You've at least had a google search using the information on the dial right?

The next step is taking it to a watch maker, and having the back opened to give you the model reference number - then you can identify your exact model.

Good luck.

I have googled, they are so many of them it is hard for me to find a definitive answer, a watch maker will be my next step.

Its an omega constellation, but I figure you've gathered that much. I can't tell the reference without a picture of the caseback. It has a replaced crystal and appears to have been redialed in the past. Still a nice family heriloom to remember your grand dad.

Good to know. I'll bring it to a jeweler's and have the back removed and have a few pictures taken. I'm curious on this watch and its history.

Once the back is off the most important numbers are the Ones on the inside of the case back, such as 14393, which is the reference number, then the serial number, like 18xxx,xxx and the movement calibre, such as 561, which are one the movement.
