Hi guys, I found this watch that belong to my grandfather but I couldn't identify 100% yet. I found some very similar models but not an exact match and I would like to know if this is a real omega Constellation or if is just a copy.
The case is small, probably is 32-34mm. It's heavy for his size, but I'm not sure the exact weight.
I found it very similar to the Omega in this auction https://auctionet.com/sv/3115009-ar...18k-quartz-armband-i-18k-guld-totalvikt-ca-72 but the one I have had those stones.

Any idea of what's this can be?

Thank you!

I'm only guessing not a genuine Omega or at least the dial isn't. My reasoning. I seriously doubt that Omega would take a solid gold dial
"OM Swiss Made OM" and paint it black.

Interesting. I am leaning towards genuine and rare (which doesn't always mean valuable), perhaps a local production case. I can't see a faker using one of the 1970s push button quartz movements but if you were to remove the back you would learn a lot more. It looks pretty easy to pop off as there is a handy tab. Assuming the case is solid 18K, the bulk of the value will be in the gold, it wont have much or any additional value as a watch.

Here I am again. I just opened the watch and this is what I found:

I search for the serial number but I only was able to found the Omega Constelation 1910012 "general". I didn't find anything that look the same as this watch and I have really not idea how to search in more deep. Any thoughts?

That looks genuine to me! Seems to be an uncommon model.

Its serial "39765737" dates it to 1975. If i am reading that correctly.
If you search on google "Omega 191.0012" I get a few images that look similar.

Beautiful watch. Enjoy it!. Just get that old battery out ASAP.

Why not? IMO it is not painted - might be galvanised. This technique is also used by Patek to colour dials brown or blue like on the Elipse models (they call it blue gold).
