Watch Identification Help

Hello everyone,

My grandmother of 97 years passed away last month, and left us some jewelry. This is one of those pieces.

It's an Omega vintage watch, however, I cannot for the life of me, find the specific model online.

my educated guess based on what I've seen, puts this watch in the 1950s-1960s. It does have the original band, part of it is damaged as you can see in the pictures.

Any idea of what model and year this could be?

I am looking to sell it so if you have a general price that be amazing as well.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and reply.

The case was made in London by a company called D Shackman & Son. If you posted a better picture of the hallmarks we could date it accurately for you. The value is that of the gold bullion melt value, and no more. Damaged women's cocktail watches in domestic cases are not valuable or collectable. STS could fix that if you wanted to spend maybe its value but you wont recoup the outlay sadly.

It's from the "Saphette" line of Omega watches, named for their synthetic sapphire crystals.

As noted previously not much more than gold melt value.

My advice it's to keep it in the memory of your grandmother because you will not get rich selling this watch. It's has more value as a memory. Regards.

I don’t believe the band is original to the watch as the lugs have holes in them for a rope styled strap. If original. It would have been welded directly to the case.

I would suggest having the band removed, new strap attached and using it
