need help identifying approx age etc
Hello. I have an old Omega that my mother passed down to me and I’m thinking about having it serviced or possibly restored (but I don’t know anything about it). My mother said it belonged to her father and she thinks it was given to him by his father (my mom is 75 years old). Could this watch be from the 40’s or 50’s? The case is 18k. Amazingly, it keeps good time! I’d still like to either get it restored or at the very least, a servicing and new straps. I’d love to hear any information that someone might be able to provide (and I can take more pictures). Not a watch I’d ever sell, just would love to know more about it. Thanks in advance for any information.

Looks like early 50's to me.
Probably did not have a model name. |

Thanks. What are options for restoring a watch like this? Would you recommend contacting Omega for a full restore, or just a service? I’m not sure which way I should go. It’s a family heirloom, but would be a great to see it restored :)

I would try and get it serviced, with an independent repair man. Hopefully some one in the New York area could steer you towards a competent repair man in your area.
