Mysterious (gold?) Vintage Omega

Hi everyone my wife and I found this beautiful omega vintage watch in one of her granddad old jewelry box. I've tried to look on the internet for more information on it but didn't find anything really similar and decided to come here for your expertise. We don't even know if it's a real one.
Bracelet seems to be 18k from Italy, don't know if it's original or not. I would only assume the case is 18k as well ? Did not find any lip on the case back so i wasn't able to look at movement.. it appears to me to be a manual ?? And it does work so thats awesome !

Likely a front loading movement (the case is solid and the movement is accessed by removing the crystal)

The little eagle’s head in the middle of the caseback suggests it is a French made 18k case.

With current gold prices, there is quite a bit of value in the case and strap.

To find out more, you will need to have the watch opened by a competent watchmaker.
(Others may be able to suggest a rough age for the watch)

Bracelet does not look original to the watch. Unless you really like the bracelet, there is a lot of gold value in it. You could sell it to fund a service of the watch (plus have a lot left over) then wear it on a nice strap.

The arrow indicates a significant problem with the bracelet. Could be the internal mesh which forms the bracelet is either stretched,or worn, allowing the cladding to “grin” as shown in the picture. I don’t know if a clever bit of goldsmithing might provide a cosmetic cure to such a problem. I’d suggest the bracelet should be bought at a salvage price.

3 piece case. Diameter? 32-33 mm. Movement - caliber 620?

Bracelet probably not repairable. Good for scrap gold sale.
