    Looks real to me. It’s a quartz Omega from the late 1970’s to early 1980’s.

    The case was made in the US under license for Omega. Movement was made in Switzerland by Omega. Probably one of the last US national production watches.

    Unfortunately, this period is considered the low point for Omega and these watches have very little collector value.

    Hope this helps,

    As above. Looks legit but near worthless.

    What else was in the collection? Great to have for sentimental reasons. I'd say most here have fond thoughts of passing on watches
