Hi and welcome,
Not much is discussed regarding the ladies, non-jeweled models. Please don't take our lack of responses as discourteous. Please consider having a watchmaker evaluate, as these require periodic service to run properly and prevent damage. At that time, photos of the movement and inside caseback can be taken and will help tremendously.
Thanks for your post!

As for your watch value, unfortunately vintage ladies watches' market is very thin. USD 100-200 would be my best guess if you can find a buyer.

I would suggest you take it to a qualified watchmaker near your place (not necessarily Omega since it will be bit expensive), and have it clean and lubricate. Your wife could cherish it because (A) it is a gift from her beloved aunt (B) it is a successful and famous Omega line during its time.
