Yesterday I purchased my first vintage Omega without knowing too much about it.

Congratulations you got lucky😀 So far from what I see it all looks original.

Do you know the movement number, movement cal and model reference number? If we had these details we could provide you with more info.

At €1100 I would say you have done very well, possibly 50% or more under market value.

Finding a strap to fit the buckle could be a challenge as the buckle looks to be 14mm. Most straps these days are 18/16 and you likely need 18/14. They do exist but choice is more limited.

It’s a nice watch, enjoy!

Good Afternoon experts and fellow lovers of Omega. Yesterday I purchased my first vintage Omega without knowing too much about it. A bold move I know, but I saw it, loved it, and had to walk away with it.
What I do know. It’s a 1960s? Omega Constellation, gold and stainless case (gold bezel and knob), pie pan dial.

I think the leather strap is original, but the seller actually changed it out with a new, random one as I went To go get money to buy it.
I am definitely looking for a original strap or better leather strap that will fit the omega buckle. Any help on which would fit would be greatly appreciated.

Any information on this watch would be greatly appreciated. Is it real? Is it authentic? Is the dial original? I had the seller open the back to see the movement and it looks gorgeous (photo attached).

What do you guys think of this? Paid $1100.

My other Omega is a 41 sea master - quartz unfortunately.. but I wear it daily in uniform. Figured it was meant to be at sea and that’s where I go with it quite frequently (Navy).

Anyways, thank you so much for all the help! Now for the watch!
Thanks again everyone!
