You'll need to get the case back off. If you're not comfortable doing it without causing damage have a watchmaker do it. The inside of the case back should have a reference number and the serial number on the movement will give you a good idea of the year it was manufactured. Many older watches like this didn't have a specific model name.
J Jrt766Thank you, I will take the back off later today. It was pretty beat up I used polywatch to clean up the crystal. My father wore it everyday. It sat for 20+ years I picked it up and it started running. I’ll post what I find. Thanks again for your input!
You're welcome. The next thing to think about will be getting it serviced by a competent independent watchmaker with an Omega parts account. Do not send the watch to Omega for service. They will replace parts that shouldn't be replaced and destroy the originality of the watch. Since the watch has been sitting for 20 years all of the oils are dry and the components will be grinding themselves away running without lubrication. The watch may run fine but it is causing damage to run it at this point.
Sorry. I was going to apologize in advance if you already knew about all that. Best of luck with it!
