Another watch inherited from my Dad. I would appreciate input from collectors.
This watch is in perfect working condition, is cosmetically very nice and has its original presentation box, outer box, manual and warranty and even extra links. I don't know much about it but I'm interested in knowing more. Do I have something special here because of all the extras or is it ordinary or somewhere inbetween? I believe this was another of my Father's personal watches and was an everyday watch for him. Thank you for taking a look!

Thanks Rogi!
This is great information to know. I appreciate you taking time to respond. Nice pics of your cousin watch!
My pleasure :) Thank you for sharing your dad's timepiece with us, if you do get a chance to open the caseback, make sure to see if you can find the serial number, you can order the "Extract of the Archives" from Omega
Basically just the date of production and where it was shipped to, it's an expensive piece of paper (I think 120CHF last time I ordered) but its a nice treat to have along with your timepiece.
If it’s quartz and not ticking...
Better check to see the condition of the movement and make sure there’s no battery leakage.
Now I have an assignment!
I had the battery replaced by a trusted watch repair company and it is running beautifully. However I will take it back to them to open the case back so I can photograph the movement and the case back to garner further information that you say is there. I...
Excellent!
Looking forward for your next post. Good luck with your further hunting! Great to hear the watch is ticking again. Cheers
Yours is just about the only 'dark ages' Omega . . .
. . . of personal interest, aside from various Speedmasters. Just the right size, coherent aesthetics, and gratefully, no helium valve. Nice one! Art
Thanks Art! Here are the other pics I promised today:

Pics of movement and case back-what does this info further say about the watch?

I love it :D the Omega 1441 is probably the rarest of the Quartz pieces, if I remember correctly they produced them from 87-88 its about as good as you can get for an Omega Pre-Bond Quartz :D
