    First one is a constellation chronomaster quartz from the 70s.

    Second one is a Seamaster 250 quartz from the early 80s I believe.

    Both are my Dads. He would want to know how much these two are worth these days..

    I tried to look on the internet with no luck...

    Thanks in advance for any insight.

    Take a look at ebay sold listings for Omega Quartz and I would guess about US$200 per piece

    not much worth apart from any sentimental value you may attach to them

    They might bring a little more on ebay. If the bracelets are a large size and heads in good condition (and running) with clear pics, could bring up to $300 to $400 each.

    They’re in mint condition. My dad never wore them... if they’re not that valuable I’ll keen them and use them more often.

    thanks for the input.

    Quartz watches of any kind are not particularly valuable to sell. Wear them as a reminder of your Dad. Also after 40+ years they are no longer water proof. I would say the Seamaster is worth taking to a watchmaker for a service. They will replace the seals so that it will be waterproof and make sure its movement is good to go. An independent watchmaker with an Omega parts account is likely the least expensive route.

    At a guess I'd agree with the above 250-400 range, depending on the buyer, the pics, the watch condition (naturally), any docs/papers you might have, etc. I will take a leap and say the Seamaster MIGHT go higher if mint, IF the right buyer was found. Not overly likely, but the few people I've known with that model loved them; I've never had one myself, so it's pure speculation on my part.
