Requiring Information if possible

I bought this watch in Suva, Fiji Islands, around 1974. I wore it constantly for many many years and one day I just put the watch in the drawer and never wore it again. I looked at it a while back and started to search online to see if I could find the same watch but to no avail. I would be grateful if anybody could provide me with any information regarding the watch.
Thank you.

Handsome 18k gold Constellation. If you know the movement you can search on Chrono24 or sold listings on eBay to get a sense of the value.

You know what it is, you know when & where it was purchased, not totally clear on what more information you are hoping to find out.

Omega made a lot different models in the 1970’s. Some were very limited runs sold only in specific markets. It is almost impossible to keep track of them all.

Your watch has a solid gold dial. That is the “OM” to the left and right of “Swiss Made”. Nice feature.

Thank you for your reply. Excuse my ignorance but how would I find out about the movement? There are 2 numbers on the inner case, would one of those be the movement if so where would I reference this information?

Thank you for your reply, gatorcpa. Do you know what the other markings on the inner case are?

Not the same watch, but identical.

Case is only four numbers away from yours.

Thank you so much for this link. This is exactly the same watch I have. It enabled me to find a pdf. Omega Constellation Ultra-Thins of the Sixties and Seventies. which revealed more information. Many thanks Franco.

The movement calibre will be a number stamped on the movement near an Omega logo. From @X350 XJR 's post linked to above;

Can then search this Forum & the wider internet for info on your particular movement.
