    I've always found the two-tones of that era to be fascinating. Nicholas Hayek Sr. (former Swatchco chairman, now deceased) was especially fond of one particular Omega two-tone that appears in virtually all photos of him taken during his last years with Swatchco.

    Congratulations on picking up this interesting watch! Please remember to post photos when you get it back from service :)

    The Polaris range is one of the Omega lines that seems to be almost forgotten. Admittedly, from my point of view, the smaller cased quartz models are pretty unexciting, but they did do some interesting larger cased models, even a few with automatic movements. Some discussion/pictures here https://omegaforums.net/threads/head-scratching-advice-sought.31774/

    Depending on where you are in the World, Omega might not be the best option for you... Highly recommend Swiss Time Services in Essex (UK).
