Hi everybody I ve receive this Omega as a present and would like to know which model is it, can you help me? Auff
It's clearly an Omega Constellation. To get the exact model you should take it to a watchmaker and ask him to remove the back. The model number will be engraved on the inside of the case back. It's also worth noting the calibre number and serial number which will be engraved on the movement. Take some photos of these and upload them here.
It’s a 14902, you can tell as the case back differs from the 168.005. It dates to the early 60’s and the movement should be a CAL 561.
What a nice gift. Case looks good, facets on the bezel and lugs still present. The dial is patinated but apart from what looks like a blemish on the dial between 5 and 6 it looks in fairly good order. A sharper picture of the dial would help. And the BOR is a bonus.
Thanks for the info, I check on the internet but the dial of mine looks rounded while the 14902 seems like having the central part with 12 "spikes" are there more than one model within the same family?
Yours is a dome dial and the other one you refer to with the 12 facets is nicknamed the ‘pie pan’ dial. The pie pan tends to command a slight premium over the dome dial although they would have both been the same price when new. There’s also one called a ’railtrack’ or ‘railroad’ dial which is less common than both.

Newbie question, what does the acronym “BOR” stand for? (I understand it refers to the bracelet but what do those letters mean?). Thanks and best regards
Ahahah, no just a matter of curiosity since quite a few people keep on telling me funny values (meaning 4/5.000€)
It's not worth anywhere near that I'm afraid. A completed listings search o eBay will give you a more accurate answer, but in that condition I'd say under $1k.
