·My Father bought a gold Omega watch in 1954. It has a second hand, and says “Omega” and “Automatic” on the dial but nothing else. I have the “Guarantee of Origin” certificate which gives the date of purchase and serial number. I used the Omega website to confirm that the watch was produced around 1951-52.
When my brother died recently we found an Omega watch which we assumed had been Dad’s.
However, there is nothing on the back of the case, and the numbers on the movement and the inside of the case back are not the serial number on the certificate. So is this really my fathers’ watch?
I spoke to a technical person at Omega’s 800 number, who researched it but couldn’t figure out anything from the numbers in the case. They said to take it to the local authorized dealer who could authenticate it. The very nice person at the local store spent quite a bit of time searching archives and Omega data bases but was unable to figure to the origin of the watch. She suggested trying a form, so here I am.
Any suggestions on how to solve this mystery?
