Hello,
Found this cool looking rose gold omega at a market which I am considering buying. There is no indication of what model it is. Does anyone know the model or reference number of this piece ?

That is what is currently affectionately known as a Geezer watch, and while not for everybody, they are having a moment. The price will be based mainly on the gold value, which could be substantial due to the bracelet. It might have a reference number in the case, but not necessarily if it was US-cased.

If you are interested, double check that the bracelet is long enough for your wrist.

Thanks. Wasn’t aware of the term geezer watch. Any idea how I would find the value of this model online?

The internet is pretty much useless for this watch, due to the recent run up in the value of gold.

You could look at completed listings on eBay as they should be recent enough to be relevant, but I would be surprised if you found a similar watch that sold in the last few weeks.

Only idea of value would be to have a qualified watchmaker remove the movement and crystal from the watch and weigh the gold parts. Add $100 or so for the movement and you’ll get an idea of the value.

Hope this helps,

It's in this broad category of gold cocktail watches, there are so many different variants on this general formula that it's hard to nail down individual references. As stated above they're not that popular and pretty much worth their gold value as many of them do get melted.
