That looks like a front loader from the mid 1960s. You'll need to get a watchmaker to remove the movement from the front to access the serial number and model number for more info.

Just to add, you seem to be missing the bezel.

A bummer indeed. Will be hard to get one later on. Nevertheless a beautiful watch

Here is side picture of bezel which is a ring that sits between crystal and mid case.


Some watches from this period were designed without a bezel as seen on the second photo


Not sure about yours take a focused side view like these photos to see better

See the first photo that SOG53 posted above. Your photo clearly shows the recessed area where the bezel would sit (see arrows). You can also see the different finish at the bottom compared to the rest of the case.

Unfortunately the missing bezel is a huge issue. It will be nigh on impossible to find one (Omega may have them, but they won’t be cheap and you may need to pay for a full service to get one, unless an Omega watchmaker can order and install one without a service).

Was this bought from a dealer? Unless you paid the gold price, I’d really consider returning it if the missing bezel wasn’t disclosed.

The fact it needs a service (and the crown is incorrect) is much less of an issue than the missing bezel

...but even if the malfunction had not been declared by the seller, it would be a further factor in favor of the return...

Please send me a picture of what you want the crown to look like.

It’s an Omega crown but not the right Omega crown.

This is the right version

Don’t get hung up on the crown. The bezel is the big, in fact massive issue if it is actually missing as it appears. I know a guy in the uk who could remake it but you are talking hundreds of pounds to do so.

Hello friends,

I bought a Omega Seamaster. Anyone knows what year the clock is from?

Best regards

Does anyone know what the original clasp for the watch looks like?
