    Hey and welcome to the forum :)

    Your watch is a, as far as I know, called tank watch. Could possibly be a watch for men or woman, in this century (I guess around 1930-1940) both could/would wear such models. Caliber should be a 26.5.

    This model has nothing to do with the so called Omega Marine watch (the first divers watch from Omega). It looks similar to yours watch but has some different case (double glass case afaik).

    Have a look here: https://www.omegawatches.com/de/chronicle/1932-wet-and-dry-precision

    It's an interesting case, but the damaged and poorly re-painted dial is going to hurt the value. For some reason, I can't see the asking price on the eBay site.

    Hi - welcome !

    It looks like a second generation Omega Marine Standard. This model was produced from 1939 onwards, with a T17 movement - so has a lot of differences to the original 1930 Marine

    It's still interesting historically and nice to collect if it ticks the right boxes for you. Dial does look repainted though... so this isn't the best example.

    Don't expect to wear it much, they're tiny watches - especially by today's standards. And they are quite niche for collectors, so aren't going to increase in value very much.

    Many thanks for your answers! Great!
    So if it‘s just for a little Collection - to bet less than 1.000€ is without a chance?
    Sorry for My Bad english :D

    I would need to do some research, but that sounds incredibly expensive for this watch. What is the asking price?

    Looks like a Marine from the caseback but I’ve never seen this case, maybe third edition? Maybe not a Marine Standard.

    It also appears to be a R13.5 or Cal 240 series movement. A T17 would have running seconds and this caliber does not have seconds, which corresponds to the lack of seconds hand on the dial image.

    In the future Hecki please post more images so we don’t have to leave the site to help you out.

    That would make sense.

    Yep, you're right - it does look like R13.5, not a T17. But the caseback has the list of Marine patent no's on it, so it should be in the Marine family.

    Most likely it is the women's version of the 1939 model, but I've never seen one of those.

    It is indeed a marine standard for women.
    Here in the 1940 French catalog :

    I have one (with a 13.5 SC but missing its central second hand if I remember well), need to dig out a picture....

    I definitely need to find were I have stored mine! At least the dial was not redone...

    It used to be there (that’s right!)... but I had to store all my watches in a bank safe because we´re having some major renovation works in our housing...

    You're finally adding a dedicated watch museum, library and research centre?
