Mid to late 1960s early 1970s.

Unfortunately not a popular style value will be a bit more than the melt value of the gold.

Can you show the pic of the back clearer? I suspect it shows a calibre number. I also suspect it is an early quartz model and dates a little later ie from mid 70s to early-mid 80s. Unfortunately I agree with the assessment of value above. Melt or at best melt plus maybe $50. But this may be considerable considering the current price of gold.

I weighed it and it is 0.44 ounces of gold (125 grams).
Not counting the mechanism, the weight of the watch would be a little less.

in the back the number is 1353

What would be the market value of this watch?

I disagree on gold value only. Overall condition looks good and it still functions as a watch.

might be a little harder to sell than a gold head only, but I’m sure there’s a junior mafioso that needs a match to his pinkie ring.

Gold value + 25%

As noted several times already, it's not a popular or collectible style and as a result, the market value is essentially that of the gold. It will not be easy to sell as a watch, so if you're determined to sell it, find a gold buyer.

To determine the value you will need to remove the movement, dial, and crystal and weigh it. You can just smash it with a hammer and pick out the pieces that aren't gold. Then you need to determine whether it is 14k or 18k to calculate the amount of gold in grams (e.g. 58% or 75%, respectively). You can usually get 80-85% of spot value from a buyer.

My guess is 72-73 based on that bracelet. Narrow range for those in the Omega and Seiko line.

As I inferred above it can be roughly dated from the calibre number, in this case 1353. The 1350/1353 was released in 1977 and is a tiny movement usually seen in small ladies watches. My guesstimate of age therefore stands at late 70s to early 80s. This I suspect is pretty small to modern tastes since the date window is at the dial edge, more like a cocktail watch in fact. Small quartz watches of this era are not really collectible so I think @DON ‘s melt +25% is a tad optimistic. If it’s 18k gold and we assume ~100g gold weight I suspect you’d struggle to get more than the £4k/$5k melt value. The gold value out weighs its value as a watch so to speak. Obv those figures will change if the gold purity is different, eg half that if in fact 9k. A pic of the hallmarks as requested above will tell all.

Just wait 20-30 years, when all others have been melted down for the gold, yours will be a rarity from the 70`s.

And still be worth only melt value.

Hush now, I am trying to get the OP to keep it. 😀 You are probably right, but it a shame to see all these gaudy watches from the 70`s and 80`s being melted down for scrap. Besides shit happens, and when it happens we don`t always predict it.
