Can someone help identify this Omega watch? It is a man's dress watch, my mother purchased it in October 1971 at Tudor Jewelers in Elmont NY for their wedding anniversary. It is manual wind, still working, all original. Back is marked 14Kgold. Any information/valuation would be appreciated.

Would help to have a watchmaker open up the case & have a look at the movement & any markings on the inside of the case back.

It's a nice looking watch, would probably benefit from a movement service (cleaning, lubrication, regulation).

Plan on doing that, but was just curious. I have searched high and low and have never seen this particular model. Thanks.

As mentioned above, the information you want will be inside the watch. Most likely a reference number inside the case-back and the movement caliber on the movement, as well as a serial number. These square/rectangular watches are fairly obscure from a collectible standpoint so you won't necessarily find a lot about them online.

Reference number is likely to be two letters followed by four numbers which is typical for American market watchers of this period and type. Probably a caliber 620 17 jewel.

I also did not seen that model until now but from my experience i think that it's authentic ..As other member said you will have to open it to take all the information you will need.

From experience seeing the serial number won't do you any good either, there are many unique Omega's that are rarely documented online

Value is less than $1000 if auctioned, I'd guess around $700 at best, there's likely around 10 golds in there

But keep in mind that values are this low because there's no good and easy way to sell watches, therefore the demand is low too as the sellers that survive have bad inventory and usually people only get burned once

I’d say $700-1000 is very very optimistic

Usually people overestimate the gold weight I think, white gold random Omega's usually fetch $700+

I personally really like them, if those spots are on the dial though and it's yellow gold, indeed optimistic

Thanks everyone. This is more than what I knew yesterday! Will hold onto it as a keepsake, was looking at valuation from homeowners insurance standpoint. Not interested in selling.
