I'll start you off, it's probably mid 1980's. I used to work for a jeweller who stocked Omega, and this looks familiar. .. D

Snap!

But I am afraid I am not going to be of much use regarding the age....

Nice, where did you get the strap from, was always interested in getting one like that, but not sure of how it would look on one, and it does look very nice.


I know it is about early to mid 80s but I just can't find that much on it.

Do you have a button in the crown to advance the hands?

Is that the twiddly knob on the side of the watch? If so, yes.

I have a Seamster with a similar quartz movement (134x refers to the movement and not the watch model). Its greatly superior to current ETA manufactured quartz movements, having thirteen jewels; and being equal to an mechanical Omega movement in terms of quality.

To establish the model youll need to open the watch; youll find the number engraved inside the caseback similar to this: 196.0107.

Id guess that it manufactured somewhere between 1977 and 1982. I have a stainless example with a flawless blue dial.
