·This watch was given to my father back in the 80's I think after 50 years of service. Dad has passed on now, and Mum is offering it to me as she knows I'm into watches.
I don't know much about it, but keen to find out what it's worth. I would never sell it, but just wondering if it's worth fixing up? Guessing they didn't use sapphire crystal by the look of the scratch. Apparently he only wore it about 5 times because he was afraid he might lose it.
Would love your feedback, as mum doesn't have any papers for it.
It can't be younger than 1986, as that's when I think he retired. I've scoured the Omega database, but can't find this one, although they are missing pics on a lot of them. The lugs appear to be chamfered a bit which rules out a number of similar ones, and some that looked close only had "Swiss" rather than "Swiss Made" on the dial @6.
Could there be a model number under the case back if I open it up? Only other alternative is to go to Omega themselves.
