Well you've managed to get the back off, the relevant numbers are inside the back case, 168.027, which is the model reference number and also on the movement, 564, which is the movement type. The other long number, yours I think is 26978441, is the serial number of the watch, which you can tally with an Omega serial number chart to give you the approximate production year

It's real and it seems to be all original and in very good condition. It is a high quality watch and worth several hundred euros but hopefully you will keep it in your family.

Very nice - welcome and congratulations.
Where is the movement pic?
26,9xx will place it around 1968.
Do get it serviced though before you wear it as you have some rotor rub.
