That looks like an "Omega Digital 2". It was one of the last Omega models and the cheapest. It came after the partnertship with Pulsar ended, which is why it's a cheaper model as it doesn't share the heritage with the "granddaddy" of LED watches -- Pulsar. Still, it looks nice though.

This is mine ...

It looks cack to be honest. Like someone mentioned, the glass casing looks shoddy. Are you sure its genuine?

Just remembered, I had a Bionic Man digital watch of similar style, battery lasted about a month because I was always pressing the button and it was never replaced!

You say the owner doesnt know what it is...Is his other watch a brail watch?

Its got the name written on the front OMEGA in huge letters, and on the back it has LED watch....Its an Omega LED watch.

BOTH ENDS OF THE SCALE........

I have seen this model bought for £125 no box, no papers, no magnet and not working.

Also at the same fair, £575 was paid for a mint model with all papers, links, original magnet, history, and inner and outer boxes...obviously working.

As has already been said, its not the sought after model, the earlier ones go for more, this one was the last run and less coverted.

If its in good order, box and papers, and you get it for £350 you have done well....good luck.

I still prefer Tritium filled tubes, but thats just me.

for the type of money your spending i would want a REAL omega with heritage. This looks way over priced and i doubt would sell for more than 170.00 if taken to my local "sunday morning watch meet" in London.
