Re: Watch ID and Information Request

In Response To: Watch ID and Information Request ()

You can get exact details from Omega by following the instructions on the "Tell Me About My Omega" article in the OMEGA section of this site.

But in general, the model you are describing is one from the mid to late 1970's and is a very high-accuracy quartz movement. In good exterior and working condition it is definitely worth at least several hundred dollars. Omega stopped using plated and filled gold in the early 1970's, so the watch is probably solid gold.

Best to take it to a jeweler to determine what level of restoration it might need. Possibly a new battery and an external polish would be all it requires. The biggest worry would be if the battery inside has leaked and damaged the movement.
