Recently acquired this watch, would love to know more about it. Really wanting to find a bracelet to put on it, but I'm just not sure which bracelet goes on it!
Like I said, I'm new to omega. I have a vintage Tudor and several Tag Heuer modern watches.
Really wanting to get it cleaned up and put an original bracelet on it.
Any advice is appreciated.

This watch probably did not come with a bracelet. There are some old Omega bracelets that might be an OK fit, but it might take some trial and error, and old gold-filled bracelets are usually not in great shape.

Would you be ok with a decent leather strap? Original as the years ass becomes expensive and difficult to find. Nice watch with those subdial seconds. I don’t like those spring loaded bracelets. They can do damage over time.

Bracelets eat away at the gold filled plating due to rubbing. Current bracelets are gold plated and don’t match the gold filled colour. Leather might be a better alternative

And try giving the case a gentle polish with a jeweller’s cloth

Thanks for all the replies. Yeah I did a lot of research today. As near as I can tell the best option is going to be to buy a nice leather strap for it.
Does anybody happen to know the exact model of this watch?

The reference number may be inside the case-back.

Most people will tell you to ditch the bracelet and go with leather.
The type of bracelet that's on it now can do damage to the inside of the watch's lugs if those are the kind of end links that are spring loaded outward.
