* Reference: 196.0065 – Omega’s case reference for this model.

* This is a high-quality gold plating. Many vintage gold-plated watches used 10 or 20 microns, and 20 microns is considered durable.

* 5491 – Omega internal case manufacturer code.

* Original dial, miner ware can be cleaned
* French day wheel (“MER” = Mercredi, Wednesday), which is less common than English.

A true time piece, I was going to fully restore this watch, but it’s appearance, ad character, and holds provenance.
