See Desmond's article on the c.560 in my original write up. It should tell you a lot about the caliber. Basically produced maybe '60-'65. 3000 total pieces spread across 10 different model numbers. No data on how many 6610s were produced because they were shipped from Omega as just the caliber and then cased in the US.

Value? Depends on condition but its not overly desirable, even considering rarity. Excellent condition, fully serviced and functional, maybe $1200 to $1500. Unserviced in poor condition $400 on just gold value alone. Value is very subjective on this one. I was watching a gold filled model on ebay recently(not verified as a 560 but had the dial and hallmarks). It went for $255.

Post some pics if you have them.
