··Melbourne AustraliaAll the information you need is there.
It's a caliber 1310 "megaquartz" introduced by Omega in 1973.
The serial number dates it to about 1973.
The battery is incorrect, it originally used a 1.35 volt mercury battery which is no longer available so using a 1.5v silver oxide battery may work with tweaking.
It is a 20 micron gold plated case with a stainless steel case back.
The bracelet is not original to the watch.
The references 196.XXXX and 396.XXXX denote.
1 - Gents Watch
or
3 - Gents bracelet watch
9 - Electronic
6 - Water Resistant Calendar
The other numbers are just sequential numbers.
They have been given the Genève name by Omega, but not all dials I've seen had Genève markings.
