路Perhaps not, but it has nothing to do with the caliber, but the reference! What's the reference/case number inside the case back?

路Hey 馃榾
although iam not into this model, the crown itself looks right for this model. The only thing iam not sure about is the omega logo (should be a flat foot logo afaik).

路It's 14389-12-CSP
It definitely looks right. After looking up the model on an old list, it seems like the correct crown would be a Ref 45003. From what I understand, Omega changed the parts ref # system a little while ago, so there likely is a new number that may not come up when this reference is searched.
But, after a quick google search, I found this link:
https://www.chrono24.com/omega/crow...5003-unseal-packed-crown--id13592050.htm#gref
Looks to me like the same crown, but in yellow gold. Looks like "069sx45003" is the new reference number for a yellow gold plates crown and I read that the letter combination corresponds to the type of metal, but hopefully somebody more experienced than me can chime in and confirm.

路One caveat to my comment above is that this watch may have come with a different crown when it was first produced. Oftentimes, Omega eventually stops producing the original style crowns and replaces them with a correct modern alternative. Over the years, a watchmaker may have changed it with the updated crown to maintain watertightness. I've seen this on some of the 60's Connies and seamasters.

Can you tell us the list relating ref number and crown reference?
