Ok I finally got pics up.  I think I was wrong about the omega stamping though.  Anyway hopefully this will help me to learn more about my watch

Omega would date it to 1940 which to Me doesn't feel quite right for the Dial/Hand style, looks mid/late 50's +

I'm guessing 1960s.

Here's one from 1967 that passed through my shop a few years back.  Not the same watch but kind of the same basic styling.  Possibly they are from the same era.

My vote is 1967 also & probably has manual windup 10CL movement per the example. The following watches are similar sized watches from 1967. I don't know the model names or if they had any.

xorphanx - I have this exact watch in white gold, I know that Bulova also made this same style in yellow. Mine has a 10BZC 21j movement. The date code on the back of mine is M4 (1964). I'd be surprised if your's did not have a date code or if it varied more than a year or two from 1964.
