Holy smoke, my jaw dropped when I saw the first watch.
I know nothing about Omega but I can tell it is a stunningly beautiful gold enameled watch from the 1920s, or slightly earlier or slightly later.
I don’t know if it’s for a man or woman, but to me it’s almost a museum piece and very special.
The style is a bit of a blend, with some features of art deco or jugenstil, but other more traditional patterns; there might be a touch of egyptian revival in there.
It would definitely be interesting to get it to a well recommended professional watchmaker —NOT a jeweler, and only some one who comes with references— to open it up, take pictures of the inside markings and the movement, and get an extract of archive from Omega.
The second one can more readily be worn-/ the first one I would consider much more valuable as an artefact.
And with that, I will let you enjoy the discussion below on another watch which has some similar feature-/ but whose style is much more identifiable as art nouveau (which yours isn’t IMHO) and Egyptian revival.

PS just noticed @tyrantlizardrex’s post already indicating some of my observations. I must admit I did not read the thread to the end when I posted- I was so stunned. It is a truly extraordinary heirloom.
