Help identifying vintage 14K(?) watch with cal 1070

EvelynUSA · Aug 19, 2020

I've came across this watch, liked it a lot, but cannot find any information on it and have some concerns in regards of authenticity and value:

Mechanism seems to be authentic, however there's little value since this is 1070:

However case and bracelet are very strange, case has no trademark, very bulky clasp. I googled and searched Omega's web page for this number but found no results. Not even sure it's 14K solid gold with such a "hallmark", no other stamps are visible :

Clasp is strange too, looks like it does not belong to this bracelet, there are some letters, but unreadable:

I have not seen it physically, just pictures and seller's description. As per seller, they did not test case, just rely in this "14K" marking inside of the case.
Any information and comments welcome.

The watch is likely from the mid-1970’s. The movement is an Omega movement, caliber 1070.

However, it is impossible to comment on the rest of the watch without more information. These ladies watches were produced in very small batches, within specific markets (like the US). Omega has very little, if any, information on them.

I do not see “Swiss Made” on the dial, so that may have been repainted at some point.

These watches generally sell for the melt value of the gold, sometimes less. The movements are good, but will be expensive to service and parts are sometimes hard to source.

Unless you can return the watch if it does not check out as full 14K gold and the price is very inexpensive, it might be best to let this one pass.

Hope this helps,
