Re: Identification

In Response To: Identification *PIC* ()

: Can anyone help in identifying this 14kt Omega?

Omega watches generally have three identifying numbers, an 8 digit movement serial number on the mechanism, a 4 digit calibre number on the mechanism, and a case/model reference number of at least 4 digits inside the case back. However, Omega has made watches since 1848 and identifications have not always been consistent.

Opening the watch, photographing it and supplying these numbers would make identification much easier.

By appearance, the style of the watch suggests that it is from the late 1970s to early 1980s, to possibly early 1990s. During the early 1990s, movement serial numbers were placed on the exterior of the caseback for a brief period.
