Send the watch and $50.00 to me and you pay the postage, and I’ll take it off your hands!😁

It’s a Swiss Made Cimeda Acromatic 25.
Worth is dependant on the visual acuity of the prospective purchaser.

Needs to go into that shadow box and stay there.

The bottom lugs somehow give me the impression that the watch is attempting to crawl away.

I am detecting a lot of jealousy in the responses.

Was this watch left to you by your grandfather, by any chance?

Probably for the best?

Now that you’ve sold off the majority of your good stuff, keeping only a few favourites, you’re left with a dog from every town! Jealous? Not really!😗

Thank you.

Do you want cremation or burial? Gas cost less than shovel time.

I think it would make a great project with new lens a judicious case polish, the dial may look quite attractive with that tropical finish.
I have started with worse and ended up with some presentable vintage watches with nice patina but each to their own.

What a shame that it’s a poorly redialed Aromatic 25, one of Omega’s lesser known but exceedingly rare and valuable issues. Only 20 were made between January and April of 1958 for the Japanese market. In good condition, they fetch well over 200k. I’ve been trying to find a good example for decades.

Looks like a watch to me. Worth about tree fiddy.
