Omega vintage identification

Miggins · Feb 2, 2023

Hi all you knowledgeable collectors. I acquired this watch recently (no paperwork sadly) and would be grateful if you can identify model, year and would you be able to tell me what the original strap would have looked like? Everything else seems good and in working order. Wind watch, stainless steel case Blue Dial in right lighting. Looks like silver baton markers. Lovely little watch ( well to me anyway )

Thanks in advance.

Welcome @Miggins

The case has hallmarks for 9 carat gold and an English cased watch by Schackman.
The reference number in the case back will one of theirs rather than an Omega reference.
If you could show the movement or the hallmarks in focus we could roughly date the watch for you.

Thanks for the welcome. Took me few goes but hopefully what you need

Please post a clear photo of the movement serial number. Or if you can’t take a clear photo, just type it.

The London date letter ‘t’ dates the case to 1974

I don’t think I’ve ever seen 9ct white gold.

Which dates the movement to around late 70 / early 71.

So, the movement could have been sent over from Switzerland to Schackman’s and sat around for a while before being cased.

I think 1970's seems right given the style.

Thank you so much I'm a 70's girl too so perfect. Any idea what sort of strap it would have had originally?
