Hi All,

I'd really appreciate some support in identifying my vintage Omega which was passed down to me from family. If anyone has information on the watch's year of production, model details, etc., I'd be more than grateful. I would love to trace additional information (original purchase location) from any of the serial numbers, but I understand this may not be possible.

Some details below:

• I'd estimate the watch is from the mid-1960's
• 601 Movement Pictured - additional serial numbers, etc
• No history or photo's of the original band - leather strap was added a number of years ago
• "P-6313" located inside case back
• "0069685" located inside case back
• "14K G.F. B&A" located on the exterior of the case back

Thanks so much in advance!

It's a US-cased Omega, so the numbers inside the case are proprietary to the case-maker B&A, I believe. You can determine the approximate production year using the serial number on the movement and the chart found elsewhere on the site.

Thanks for the swift reply. From what I've found using the serial number on the movement, it's approximately a 1967 production year. This combined with the 601 movement, lend me to reference ST 135.0018 (from Omega, linked below).

Which might be close, however the Omega font is different as are the numeral markers - I've found plenty with the bar markers, but not so many matching any descriptions with the numeral.

I'd like to also find out what style of leather band was sold with the watch when new, too.

This type of nationally cased watch does not have an Omega reference number. If it were a 135.0018 it would explicitly be inside the case-back. Instead, this watch was shipped to the US by Omega as an un-cased movement, and assembled in the US into a case made by B&A.

For straps, search for period advertising.

B&A was Belove & Arienti Watch Case Company (thanks @X350 XJR for the memory jogger).

This appears to be the same watch with a different dial.

Unusual to have a US watch with full Arabic numbers - very much a British thing.
Looks great.
