Just inherited the watch seen in pictures from my late father , since then I have purchased to other Omega watches and now am very interested in the Omega brand . Wanted to ask for help with my fathers watch from this very informed group of Omega forum , Is this a authentic Omega ? the watch buckle makes gives me doubts as Omega symbol is not level ???

Thanks so much !

Your photos are not very clear but, at first glance, both the watch and the buckle look genuine.

Homage buckles rarely have the amount of detail that I can see but not discern.

The watch looks to be in very nice condition.

Welcome and congrats on your new pieces.

Apologies, but I'm a relative newbie myself. I'll refrain from commenting as to the authenticity of the piece in the pictures.

An adult will be along in a minute, who should be able to advise.

Looks good, though.

The marking inside your case back looks like it might be the symbol for solid gold. Hard to see clearly in the picture.

Nice watch! It has a gold 18k locally produced case (probably in Spain as it was bought there). This was made to avoid taxes when importing a gold watch.

Odd it has Swiss hallmarks,...
