In Response To: Vintage Strap sizing Question. ()

No way for us to tell you for sure. OMEGA made numerous watches that match the general description you gave. Only OMEGA has that detail of technical info on every watch they ever made. And even they would need the serial or model number to look up the exact specs on that specific watch.

Frankly, I have not encountered much in the way of mens watches with such narrow lugs. Normally, older mens watches are 18mm. So what you have sounds more like small gents or a boys size watch. No idea what was standard or typical for those.

But all that is irrelevant. All you have to do is take a metric ruler and measure the space between the lugs on your watch! Or take it to a shop that sells straps and hold up different width straps to the case until you see which looks like the best fit. It's that simple!
