    Found this in my grandfathers old belongings. It hasn't been used in decades but I just wound it up and it works like a charm.
    Could someone help me identify it? How old is it? Is it worth anything?
    I've been trying to google it for an hour or so but I just can't find one that looks like it.

    And you probably won't find one that looks exactly like it. Omega used hundreds of different dial and case combinations for these 30mm movement watches.

    It's not a particularly high value piece, but certainly worth putting some money into to have a nice working heirloom and remembrance.

    Since you say that it hasn't been run in decades, it's probably a good idea to have it serviced, or at least inspected, by a watchmaker before running it any more. Kind of like you wouldn't want to run a car that's been sitting in a barn for 30+ years.

    All sorts of bad things could happen.
