Need help identifying a watch passed down

immy96 · Apr 22, 2023

Hello all! I’m new to the watch world and was just passed down an Omega that was owned by my great-grandfather. Could someone enlighten on its model & ref number and perhaps a little history to it? Apparently it was a daily for my great grandad (I never got to meet him) but am really touched that I have something from him & intend on keeping it. I’ve tried looking through many threads & forums but can’t seem to find anything close to it. Attached are photos of it! Thanks in advance everyone!

I found a couple of high quality photos or it online on a website!

Hi Danny. Thank you for giving me some insight into the watch! Glad to know that it’s legitimate - a little disappointed that they aren’t that sought after. Would you consider this watch to be more of a jewelry piece than an actual watch?

It's a Constellation, which is Omega's top of the line dress watch, so I would certainly consider it a high-quality watch. Given the amount of gold, it also makes a statement as a piece of jewelry. The style isn't currently popular to most modern collectors, but that is entirely subjective.
