    Anyone know if there's a list of the different models of Omega that would have been available for sale in Ireland/London during the late 70's?

    As a toddler I buried an Omega that my father had gotten as an engagement present from my mother on Curracloe Beach and have often thought it would be a cool present to manage to get him the same model again (i.e. repay him for my actions as a 2 year old!). My parents have divorced quite a while back and even if I did want to ask her I doubt my mother would be able to tell me which model it was. Thinking if I could narrow the field, a browse through old photo albums might help me identify the model? Or would they have had that many models available in 77/78?

    Hey Sleepy,

    Have a click on the link below. There are heaps of old Omega Catalogues and manuals. Hopefully you will find the watch your looking for. Once you have the reference number for the watch it will be happy hunting.

    Thanks, never had much luck with watches, lost this one on my father and the only decent one I ever had (one of two Brietling's my mother bought on-street in New York for $100 thinking them to be better than average replicas) was stolen from behind a bar - I took it off thinking it wouldn't withstand the steam from the dishwasher being a "fake". When the other one was brought to a reputable jewellers by my cousin for a new battery it transpired that it had been real all along!
