PS: To maintain originality it's best not to send it to an official Omega service centre.

Welcome, and it is nice that you have a watch from your late father!

Condolences on your loss.
That is a perfectly genuine and nice vintage Speedmaster. The condition isn’t great and the chrono hand is wrong but everything else, even the bracelet is correct.
Bear in mind even in that condition the bracelet is worth c.£1000 and the watch a minimum of £2700 (very conservative, more likely £3000+).
I would strongly urge against restoring this yourself unless you have experience. One slip damaging the dial or movement will have significant impact on condition, value etc.
There are a few Speedygurus here on the Forum that are from the Netherlands, they might help you out with a watchmaker that knows how
to work with vintage Speedys?

For £3000 I would buy this watch in a heartbeat. It looks like the lume was removed but otherwise the shape is not too bad. Bracelet looks like it is in excellent condition and that alone is worth a lot. Movement is super clean. All you need is a correct Chrono hand and a pusher. You should have it serviced by a local watch guy who knows what he is doing if one is available. The 321 movement is not a movement to get your feet wet in the watch service world.
