    hi, curious about a beautiful Omega shown on the restoration page of the http://www.swisstimeservices.co.uk/restoration.html website. New to Omegas so feeling around in the dark regards searching in google for model number or otherwise.

    oops - made a mistake with my answer - here another try:

    From the picture it looks like an early Cal. 33.3 chronograph with only one pusher, should be one of the first run... They measure around 37,5 to 38 mm in diameter which is quite impressive for that era.

    There is a serious mistake in this post - it is no Cal. 968 - the number is a movement serial# where one of the figures had been omitted (they are usually 4 digit ##).
    This Tissot is a 2 pusher chrono - one of the pushers sits in the winding crown! This is also available from Omega, but is a bit later (younger).
