Could you please tell me the model & value, along with any additional information you might be able to provide for this vintage Omega? It has an 18K case with a 352 movement. The serial # on the movement is 11579828. It has a screw-on back & a 14K Kreisler band/bracelet. I am not an expert, but the watch appears to me to be in above average to excellent condition. Thanks!Vintage OmegaVintage Omega

The case refence number will be stamped on the inside case back, usually 4 digits. It appears to be a caliber 352 chronometer from the very early 1950s. Assuming it is in the very nice shape with no needs, value without the band is around $1200-1500.

Hi Zaf, thank you for the information. The case reference number is 2520. The back of the case also has the number 10860058. Would this watch have been a predecessor to either the Constellation or the Seamaster? ...I see similarities to both, but neither seems to match exactly. Thank you in advance for your time!

The caliber 352 with index regulation is a predecessor to the Constellation movements, yes. But your case looks a lot more like that of a Seamaster. There is a Seamaster that is chronometer grade, so perhaps this is the ancestor of that watch.
