I have owned this watch since the late 1960's. No box or papers. Here is a link to the Omega description of the watch - http://tinyurl.com/qama6qc From the Omega data base it appears the date of production is 1963. Here is the description: Reference CE166.0010 International collection1962 MovementType: Automatic (mechanical) Caliber number: 562 / 565 Cal. 562 Created in 1958, 24 jewels Cal. 565 Created in 1965, 24 jewels Central sweep-second hand Functions: Date Case: Gold-cap on stainless steel Case back: Screw-in Dial: With hand-rivetted gold hour markers and facetted "Dauphine" hands Crystal: Armoured hesalite Bracelet: Leather Water resistance: 30 meters The watch is in fair condition for the age.

Kate, if you want something from 1963, it should have a serial # stamped on the movement 20 million something, "20,xxx,xxx". This is a nice watch, but older. Do you have some time or is his birthday, like Thursday or something?
Hello Kate, I'll try and post a working link. Apologies. In the meantime: If you search under the heading of "Vintage Omega Seamaster Special Cal 562 Gold Cap" that should take you to the item. Good luck. Bob.
