Help identifying 1950’s Vintage Omega

[mspross0]

Hey yall, my grandad was a Swiss master watchmaker back in the early 1950’s. He worked for omega for a number of years and was gifted this watch for i believe 5 years of service. It’s unworn never tried on. All original box etc. just trying to get some more information on it anything is appreciated. P.s. this is my first post here so i apologize if anything is not fully correct post wise.

Welcome to the OF.

Your watch looks very promissing... it is a reference CK 2364 if the diameter is 33 mm - at least it seems so in the photo.
If it is 35,5 mm then it is a ref CK 2366
The numerals on the dial are executed in kiln-fired enamel hence they hold up very well.
This is a very nice set you have.
In case you want to sell it (which I don´t suppose as its a heirloom - but who knows...) please give me the first shot.

Hey there! Thank you so much for all of the info! I’ll be sure to check the dial size tomorrow and definitely not planning on selling anytime soon but I’ll keep you in mind haha. Do you happen to know approximately the value?

When I wrote diameter I meant the case (without counting the crown) not the dial!

That’s a remarkably lovely and well preserved example, very few of these are left in that condition

These threads with grandfather’s watches are a rarely at this level. Beautiful. Wear it with care!
