I’m not big on pieces quite this old but it looks like a Calibre 26.5 or something of that era, I know there are a lot of different 26.5 variants with different fonts and markings but the layout looks like it. These tend to be a bit harder to get parts for than later pieces and have significantly worse water resistance so they’re not really on my radar.

According to the movement number, the watch is from around 1930 (more or less, it’s not an exact science).

I think model references were introduced later on. If you have a picture of the case back this could be confirmed.

I think the dial type is called sector dial.

Genuine Omega ca mid 1930s.

Caliber should be marked under the balance.

Photos are of very poor quality so not much else can be said.

Hello, first of all, thank you for all the information you have given me! Now the question is, is it worth buying it without being sure that it works and also without the crown or the stem that goes into the crown ? And if not, where can I find these parts? If someone had them? And also, at what price?

In my honest opinion, and I am no expert on these early references, I would pass.

The dial has some damage that cannot be fixed, the case is far from pristine - the upper left lug is in bad shape for instance. The movement doesn’t look in exceptionally well preserved condition.

I’ll let other share their thoughts. It might be worth sharing the asking price too. It might also be interesting to do some research to understand a realistic condition for these watches, which are old and likely hard to find.

It looks to me like it could be a 26,5 calibre reference CK784, or similar. I have a very similar one myself for reference. As far as I know this particular reference had multiple cases, some with stepped bezels, others rounded, other like yours.

My one is in good condition and it cost me over £1000. It measures 32.4mm in diameter excluding the crown, so if you can find the measurement of that one you might have a better clue if it's the same model or not. Looking at the dial, it may very well be smaller but it's hard to tell.

Here's an image of my one for reference:

If got it for €80, and it measures 26 mm in diameter without the crown.

26mm is incredibly small, but at least you only paid 80 euros. Its not worth anymore than that.

Sorry to say but 26 mm is a ladies’s watch; and with this significant dial damage it should not cost more than 20 US dollars. Even that’s way too much if the watch doesn’t work- and it’s not worth th price of repair.
