Hi guys im extremely new to watches and am looking for any information and help possible on this omega I recently received from my grandad who passed. I cannot find any similar omega chronometers that have this dial. Most I found have the “automatic” on the dial? I believe the bracelet is aftermarket topps from the 70’s, but really have no idea and would love some help! Thanks in advance, its my first time here!
Have a look, if the underside of the lug at 5 o'clock has a stamp in the metal. If so, take a better picture there. Erich(macOmega) will tell you more. Nice example and handwinding calibre 30T2RG, if a Chronometer.....
It looks like there's a stamp on one of the lugs and one on the side of the watch:
18 carat case 😀

Hey thanks so much for the help so far guys! I myself didn’t notice the tiny mark, it looks to my eye just a dent but maybe not. I have attached 3 images, my camera will only focus so far, looks to me like a womans head and a letter g underneath?

I can tell you that your grandfather was a man of class.
A solid gold chronometer-rated Omega from the forties? Wow. Who was he? What was his line of work?
Paging @mac_omega for added information 😀
Maybe he fought in Berlin the last days and took it from the cold body of a Nazi high rank officer?
If you only have the serial number you could find your watch here:
