What model is this?
I've never seen it before and I don't know is it is real. You Omega experts could perhaps know what it is? Age? Value?

there!
Err... hm... I'd say... this is not something Omega produced...! Everything seems wrong about this one... including the font used for the printing on the dial... the hallmarks on the outside of the case-back, the wrong (non-existent) ref#... I'll check back later at home, but I don't think this was ever a Seamaster (or an Omega at that)... It would help if you could post a picture of its movement... Then we'd know for sure... If it is a real Omega, the movt# and the cal.# would make it easy to date it... (and the movement itself would be the best clue to whether or not it is a legitimate Omega...) Will check back later... and I hope I'll prove that I was wrong, (as I'm not a lady's watch expert...) but I don't think this one is legitimate... Back in a bit... =========>> edit: Well, now back home (that was quick, huh? ), and I've been flipping through the huge "Omega Saga" book, trying to find anything that will come close to the watch you show on the pix... can't find anything yet... A Seamaster it is most certainly not! It might have been a model out of the "Geneve" lady's series, or even a De Ville lady's and at some point someone just "made" a "Seamaster" out of it... It could have also been one of the more weird "Saphette" lady's models, but even in that series I can't find any model that really comes close to the one you show... Is it a manual wind or a quartz one? This detail would be important for some further "hunt" for information... let us know, ok? --> No, I'm afraid I can't find anything... So, unless I'm seriously wrong, I would say that this one is not a legitimate one... I'm sorry. Maybe somebody else can shed some more (or different) light on this...? B/R Petros

Thank you for your info. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of its movement since the watch belongs to some fellow on another forum. He found it in a drawer (inherited furniture) along with some other watches and wanted to know if it's real.

Hey DavidHasselhoff, is JJ your dad? I read yesterday that David Hasselhoff's father invented the inflatable sheep!
