This was one of my father’s watches but it has no model name and I haven’t been able to find a photo online of anything like it. I assume it was mfg sometime near the 1962 date on the engraving, but that isn’t necessarily true. I’d love to know more about it and I’d also like to know if it can be repaired and maybe a ballpark estimate of what that would cost. The watch runs, but the stem is missing so it cannot be set. Here’s some photos;
Like many Omegas, it doesn't have a model name like Seamaster/Constellation/De Ville. It's simply an Omega Automatic, model number FX-6262. It's an American cased Swiss movement from the mid 1950s, most likely done by the Norman Morris Corporation, Omega's US agent at that time and evident by the US import code of OXG on the balance cock. The case made by the Star Watch Case Company is 10 karat gold filled (a sheet of gold bonded to a base metal as opposed to electro plating). It has a caliber 491 with a seial number in the 15 mil range which dates it to between 1956 and 1962. How do I know all this you ask in amazement? https://omegaforums.net/threads/wruw-today.567/page-304#post-75318
