Unknown Omega model

You’ll need to get the case-back opened and check inside, but typically you are best just listing it on eBay no reserve with good photos including a shot of the movement and inside of the case-back, there aren’t that many buyers for these so they tend to go for around melt value plus a small amount on average.

Thanks for the update. I'm interested in finding out the model though. Did Omega just make one off watches as well?

I don’t think it will have a model name, many didn’t, and were just ladies watches or gent’s watches. Bulova, Gruen, Hamilton, etc, all had different model names, I’m not sure why Omega didn’t do the same until the Seamaster, Speedmaster & Railmasters came to market. How did people know what to order or ask for?

By picture and catalogue model. No internet back then. No email. You actually had to go to a store and buy. Crazy huh😀

So they had model names in the catalogues? I don’t think I’ve seen an early Omega catalogue, but the prevailing wisdom here is that there weren’t model names.

And yes, wifi was terrible back in the ‘50’s 😅

DON

Then again. Maybe it did have a name. Problem is. Finding a catalogue with it listed

Very interesting, thx! How to choose between the Milva and the Delores?

Some, but this is not that kind of one-off, they just made a lot of similar but slightly different combinations in that era.
