Interesting, I have never seen anything like this. Is it quartz or mechanical?
Open the back I suppose if it's not running. That may be difficult if you don't have tools and experience. I trip to a watchmaker would be the best bet. They would usually open it for no charge.
Does it wind and click?
Does it tick tok or just tick?
If mechanical it should run a little bit after shaking it.
Are there any hallmarks stamped into the case?
Welcome to the forum, the back is quite obviously stamped 18k so it’s 18k gold- unless it’s a complete fake which I highly doubt. The styling of the dial suggests a 1960s watch, have you tried to wind it?
I also doubt very much that this is quartz.
Not all models had names, the way to identify it further would be to bring it to a professional watchmaker- not jeweler.
The Omega shaped bezel is pretty cool, do you have anyone in your family who would wear it? It’s quite a statement.

thanks for the tip on the watchmaker vs jeweler. i’ll make sure to go to a watchmaker with it.
i haven’t tried winding it. i’ll go do that in a little.
mostly it’ll just be kept as a keepsake, but my wife may wear it on occasion. i agree it’s a real statement.
thanks for your help.
PS our posts crossed, did you wind fully ? You should give it as many turns as it will take in order to wind it properly, two or three turns isn’t sufficient. But once you hit the blocking point you should not force it.
i didn’t. i’ll try that now. but i’d imagine that your previous comment about oils seizing likely applies.
