This watch was passed down to me by a late great uncle. Marked 66022-TOOL 105 on the back. Hoping someone can give me anymore info.

I had the watchmaker open it up when they polished the crystal but they said there was no serial numbers to be found on the inside.

Is it possible to help me date it?

Also the hour and minute hands have small tips that glow in the dark. Not sure if it’s radium or post radium.

The watch seems to be in great shape and I love the look.
Any info you can give me will be appreciated, thanks!

Looks like a nice and original funky cased Cosmic with a lovely tritium dial (hence the T’s by Swiss Made). The crystal has the small Omega logo in the middle which is nice to see.
Probably dates very late 60’s or early 70’s.
There will definitely be a serial number and caliber number on the movement and I’m pretty sure even these uniblock cases have a reference number on the inside.

Just so you know, the plating on the back has worn away the first digit of the reference number. It would have read 166.022

Plugging that into the Omega database (with the extra zero the database requires) yields the following:

You need a new watchmaker.
