Ah I'm guessing its this one from Bonhams?

Its a nice piece actually, the movement is an ETA base which is very simple, reliable, and most importantly cheap to service with near limitless parts availability. That's actually a very nice thing about ETA. The case and dial are the important parts. These watches are finished to a very high standard, and at 34.5mm its a traditional dress watch size, very well matches for a formal occasion or a business suit.

Thanks. I really appreciate your info - I find it quite attractive as well as either a dress watch or worn with a suit. Would you know aywhere I may be able to find a product sheet on this watch - I am surprised that even scouring net with the model number produces nothing. Do you know if this was a limited edition? Thanks

The Louis Brandt watches were never made in large numbers, so there simply aren't many out there. Their model numbering system and serial numbering system also is a bit weird compared to most Omegas. Being 1990s its likely to be a bit hard finding any product sheets on it, they were likely paper copy originally.
