: the case. I would like to know more about
: the quality of the movement and watch.

It is a good movement. Quite reliable but nothing super exceptional.

: Would you consider it a historically relevant
: watch within the Omega timeline?

No. That was just a average watch model in its time. I know everyone want to inherit a really valuable or unique piece. But the truth is that well over 95% of the watches I get asked about like this are just the basic to middle-of-the-road models.

: Would you consider restoring it to new (by
: omega) or would the costs exceed its current
: value?

Depends what it needs. If it is just a routine cleaning service, polish and maybe a dial repaint -- that should not exceed the value of the watch.
