: early 60's), maybe a price estimate, or even how much it would

It's tough to date exactly without a bit more information, but your guess of the 1960s is a good one.

Get a watchmaker to open the watch and give you the numbers:

on the movement is an 8 digit movement serial number

on the caseback is a 4 to 6 digit model number and/or case number, also shows the case metal

These two can narrow the date range to within a year or two, and give a better estimate of value.

Omega has amazing availability of parts, so repair or restoration should be easy and relatively inexpensive
