Searching for very specific variant of Omega Seamaster 14765

Need help identifying this exact variant of a vintage Omega Seamaster (REF 14765 - I think) that was my grandfathers (more detailed story below). For what its worth, this watch may have been originally purchased in England (not clear how long he owned it). Any additional guidance would be greatly appreciated

With the help from Reddit community, I identified the reference number and found a number of pictures variants that look very close, but each one seems to have one or two elements that are slightly different. Notably, my grandfather's watch:

"Omega" is printed on the dial (rather than raised like the symbol)
Has "seamaster" printed on the dial
The 3,6,9,12 are triangles (the other numbers are slivers)
Does NOT have "automatic" on the dial (I assume that means it was only manual)
Does NOT have a date window
Does NOT have crosshairs

Closest I have found is this one (but notably it includes raised "Omega" and says its "automatic" )

Backstory: This was my grandfather's daily watch that I acquired when he passed away about 6 years ago. I only wore it a few times and ended up losing it about a year later (left it at a restaurant). I honestly didn't know much about watches at the time, and it felt light (in my ignorant mind that meant cheap), and the lady at the omega store didn't seem all that impressed with it either when I inquired about the watch (i didn't even know what mechanical watch was, i thought it just needed a new battery), so I wasn't all that upset about losing it. Now that I have become more interested in watches (classic mid-life crisis), I spent about 6 months searching for a picture of the watch (had to have a hard drive restored) and I have come to realize this was actually quite a nice watch that my grandfather probably had some pride in acquiring. So I feel like an absolute ass for not taking better care of it (or at least to not lose it). Obviously I am never going to find the exact watch but I am now interested (I fear obsessed) with finding the exact model.

Welcome, and thanks for sharing your story!

The 14765 is an automatic watch (with cal. 552) and no date complication. While it does, at least typically, have 'AUTOMATIC' printed on the dial, Omega made many dial variations during this period, so that's not an immediate tell.

I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than I will come along soon and be able to provide more information

Thank you so much for the response. So with some more research, it appears that the watch i am looking for may actually be (or more similar to) Ref 14735! I found this picture on google, but when i click the link it doesn't go to this same watch 🙁

That does seem to match a listing for 14735 on Chrono24, here:

which includes this photo:

yeah i saw that as well, but someone on reddit informed me (perhaps incorrectly) that some of the vintage reference numbers can have slightly different watch dials and metals under the same refernce number. the one on chrono is the exact same watch as my grandfathers EXCEPT without cross-hairs on the dial and in gold.

Another update, found on this forum! this is so so close, need this without the crosshair dial https://omegaforums.net/threads/min...ter-14750-2-sc-crosshair-dial-serviced.86467/

And i think i've found it !!!! 14750-sc-1 anyone have one these lying around 😀
