This watch belonged to my father. It was presented to him after 21 years service at Woolworths. It's been sat in my drawer ever since he died over 20 years ago. I've been hesitant to wear it in case I lost or damaged it, however I'd like to replace the strap and wear it on special occasions.
Dad would have received this in the mid 70's and it's engraved on the back. I remember lots of his colleagues had the same watch too.
The strap has seen better days and doesn't seem to fit between the lugs very well, so I'd like to get a genuine strap for it.
Any help much appreciated.

What exactly needs identifying? It's an Omega Geneve but you knew that already. Manual wind, no doubt. Gold plated. You meant, how much does it cost?
I assumed Geneve was where it was made/Omegas home town?

I'd agree with not putting an Omega strap on it, does it run?
It still runs and keeps good time. The strap has a nice gold Omega buckle on it, so if I change it, I'd like to keep that too.
Once I've put a new strap on it, I'll keep it as my "smart" watch.
Thanks to all for the advice.
Simon.
