Good day

I'm hoping that someone over here, might be able to help me out.
I'd like to identify my Omega watch.
I inherited the watch from my dad, who past away last year.
As far as i know he has had it since the sixties.
I don't know if he bought the watch himself, or that he got it from his father.
I also don't know if it's been serviced or altered during the years.
(However, I do know that it hasn't been serviced/altered for the last 30 years)

Problem is that there's little info on the outside, and i don't know how to open it properly. (Also, i don't think i have any tools to do so in a proper way)

What may be of importance is that i'm from the Netherlands (Europe).
So i guess the watch might be a European model.

What's visible is the Omega logo/sign on the dial face.
It also has a very tiny mark 'swiss made', witch you can't see without a magnifying glass. (The picture has been taken with a macro lens). Same goes for the minute marks. They are there, but you can barely see them without a magnifying glass.
On the back plate there are no marks; it's a steel plate.

It's a is a hand wound mechanical watch, with the Omega logo on the knob.
Size: 32 mm, 34 including the knob
Thickness of the case including the glass is approximately 7 mm.

In the wrist bracelet is a little mark, but it's no Omega sign. (Maybe it's not original)

I've been browsing the Omega vintage watches database, and the watch that comes close is the (reference) ME 111.0022.
But i don't think it's the same model…

So i would be thankful if anyone can help me out.

 

what a beautiful watch! keep it safe

 

Thanks for the response Gatorcpa, and Fidjeland: it's safe, don't worry.
I took my watch to the local Omega dealer and had it opened up. Took some pictures.
If i'm reading the info correct, i guess it must be a "Jubilee" from 1962:
Ref number: 131.001 brings up six watches in the Omega vintage database (Witch seems to functioning again).
If I read the info correctly the watch is a Cal.286. The only watch out of the six that show up on the database with a 286 caliber number is this "Jubilee".
According to the local Omega-dealer the value would be approximately 150 euro (200 US dollar), so not that big of a deal, but still a nice watch to me.

 

After somebody dropped a HOUSE on her?

 

Hi Frans from Netherland (Europe).
I don´t agree with Gatorcpa regarding the strap. In my opion it really suits the watch extremely well . It´s worn sure, but so is the watch. It´s probably been on the watch since it was new. In my opinion it´s part of the integrety of the watch.
Regards Fidjeland from Sweden (Europe)

 

Nice watch and great photography! The movement is in good condition. In case nobody else has said it, make sure you get it serviced ASAP, but NOT by omega, find a good local independent watchmaker.

 

........and it will easily rattled,too. Those old end links are pain in the . Replacing with strap is no regret choice. Of course the original bracelet should be kept for completeness and originality.

 

I fully respect your opinion regarding the strap gatorca. Of course you are right about about the metal strap/wear. Metal straps are really becoming "a la mode" again here in Europe, but solving wear on the springbar is difficult.
Frans- if your interested in selling your beautiful watch, including strap of course, plaese let me know.
