·The reference number is inside the case-back, and you can research the year using the serial number on the movement.

·Funny tool marks on the bracelet links. Of course, this was not exactly Omega’s golden age.

·Yes that's all black stuff from the 1970s gasket disintegrationWell, from your movement photos, both the case and the movement are pitted and the case back gasket appears to have disintegrated 😳

··Sunburst dial fanAnd, as you’ve probably already discovered, the 31****** movement number makes the watch a 1960s watch, albeit 1969 so, with a disintegrated gasket that has ‘spilled’ into the movement, your 55 year old vintage watch is probably in need of a competent professional service.

··ΩF InvestiGatorHere is the information on your watch from Omega:
https://www.omegawatches.com/en-us/watch-omega-constellation-omega-st-368-0845
This model with the bracelet has a different case reference than the one engraved inside the watch, so it can be a bit confusing. Some examples have both numbers inside.
If your watch came with the original box and paperwork, that will add some value to the package. Collectors love that stuff.
Not surprising that the seals have disintegrated over the last 55 years of sitting in a vault. If you are going to sell it, I would not bother with the service. Most collectors would prefer saving a few bucks and letting their watchmaker do the service.
Good luck whatever you decide,
