Re: Trying to identify this watch

: I was going to say runs on a battery, but I already said that!

Omega watches from this era had some variations from their "traditional" markings, but:

Open the watch with a sharp, stiff blade or get a watchmaker to do it (at next battery change)

Inside the caseback will be a case/model number; this will "identify the watch" on the Omega vintage website

On the watch movement will be two numbers

-- near an omega will be a 10 digit number xxxxxxxx; the first two digits may be larger; this is the movement serial number which will give the approximate date from a table at the Omega website and several places on the web

-- There will also be a movement "calibre" number, which is likely four digits; which can also help identify the watch on the Omega vintage website

hope this helps
