: My Father does not want to open back due to him
: not knowing how the water proof seal is at
: this time.
I hope he is not wearing it for swimming or in the shower, if it is that old! "Sealed" should be treated as "splashproof" for old watches.
If you really want answers to your questions, you can get the watch opened up, get all the numbers inside noted and get it re-sealed. That is a very small and inexpensive job.
The numbers inside will allow you to find out the year and the movement type. The case number (inside the back) may also tell you the material it is made from. You can use these to access the vintage archive on the Omega site. A search of "google" using the case number can even bring up very similar watch from other sites, Ebay etc.
Your reply suggests it is not really very important to find this out just now. There is a lot of info out there, but not available based on the info you have given.
