See the Chronocentric Rogues Gallery for more details. The third best identifier of a watch is a model number. OMEGA model numbers are not stamped on the watch, but may appear on the box or warranty card. You might think that knowing the model number would be better than having a photograph. But outside of OMEGA, hardly anyone has the ability to look up model numbers older than about 10 years. And since models numbers do not appear on the watches themselves, collectors and vintage watch dealers may not even know the model numbers of watches they have.
So like with a serial number, you would need OMEGA to convert many older model numbers into useful information. Focus on what is truly unique. Virtually all watches have hands, a crown, a logo, a bracelet. Mentioning these is completely pointless unless there is some particularly unique characteristic of them that really stands out different from other watches and that you can clearly describe. The information printed on the dial is not sufficient for identifying a watch.
Except for a few Limited Edition models, the printing on the dial at best identifies the brand and sometimes a broad model line. While this is helpful information, it is far from enough to clearly identify a specific watch. Model names usually refer to an entire collection, not a single watch design.
Knowing the year the watch was manufactured can be a big help. Styles of watches change over time. So in describing a particular model, it helps greatly to know the year it was made to clarify which of the variations over time you have. OMEGA keeps excellent records on all the watches they have made. While the initial release of the database is still being filled in with details, the listings are not totally comprehensive.
The most readily available piece of inforamtion to identify your watch is its serial number. Often it is on either the back of the watch or on the back of the lug the protrusions used to attach a strap or bracelet closest to the 7 o'clock position. Also, recent models include the serial number on a sticker on the outside of the white pasteboard 'presentation box.
On older OMEGA watches, you may need a jeweler to open the watch to read the serial number off of either the movement or the inside of the back of the case.

Buyers interested in purchasing genuine Omega watches should learn as much as they can about the product before buying.
Before shopping for an Omega watch, go to the Omega website to become familiar with the styles offered by the company. Omega's website contains photos of newer models that are available as well as vintage watches.

Fake Omegas will not glow brightly, and the luminosity fades quickly. Fake Omega watches do not have the same quality control standards as authentic Omega watches do.
