    Hi everybody,

    I hope you could maybe help me to ID this watch?
    It is with a cal. 285 and from around 1960, but I haven't been able to find anything similar online.
    The dial is slightly gold colored with a very fine line pattern.

    Thanks for your help.

    Best
    Anders

    A Google image search for Omega 285 gave me several watches like this with the same hands including at least one gold one. Your watch is a "no name" Omega, i.e. not a Seamaster, Constellation, Geneve etc. One on ebay in stainless steel looks to have the same case:

    Your watch appears to be a very good example. The 285 is an excellent movement. The linen dial looks particularly clean and nice.

    Thank you for your reply. I see the resemblance but my watch only has double lines at 12 and no dots between the other hour lines.

    Have you tried removing the case back?

    I do not have any tools, so I don't dare to try to open it, since I am afraid to scratch it. I took it to service, and from that I know that the serial no. is around 17.8 million and that it is a 285 cal.
