Hello and welcome! That’s a nice heirloom you inherited! Looks like a 145.022-76 based on the dial details and lume color. Yours appears to be in nice, original condition, with the period correct bracelet.
You’ll need to get the case back opened and see the reference and serial number to ascertain the production year.
You’ll want to get the watch looked at and most likely serviced by an Omega specialist before wearing it regularly in any case. Most here would recommend against sending it to Omega for service, as they would replace many of the original parts which would greatly affect its collectibility and value.
Let us know where you are located and the collective hive can certainly recommend a qualified specialist for a sympathetic service.

This is a great piece of family history and a great watch. It is in pretty good shape, but not so pristine that you don't want to wear it. I would have it serviced by an independent watchmaker with an Omega parts account. At that time the issue with the bezel @ErichKeane points out can be sorted. I suggest you use Google to do a site search, something like this:
I would just type it here but if you put a : next to an o on this forum you get this face 😲
if nothing turns up, start a new thread and ask for recommendations.
