Hey everyone,

I came across this vintage Omega and have no idea what the ref# is or what this would be called. Anyone have an idea? Thanks

You need to see the movement and inner case back. This has the look of some sort of bling mod.

U.S. made 14K case and Swiss Omega movement (we think). Not sure what caliber movement is inside. Not sure of the case reference either.

You’ll need to see a watchmaker for that.

As gator notes the 14K case is an indicator of an American market watch.

The US distributor for Omega at the time Norman Morris had free reign to design watches for consumption in America which often did not have Swiss counterparts.

Clear photos of the inside of the case back and movement should clear up the mystery.

Makes sense why I couldn’t find anything online that looked like it. Thanks
