··Vintage Omega AficionadoMid to late 1960s early 1970s.
Unfortunately not a popular style value will be a bit more than the melt value of the gold.

··Oooo subtitles!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.

·Thank you very much for your replies
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.

··Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...My guess is 72-73 based on that bracelet. Narrow range for those in the Omega and Seiko line.

·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.
