Anyone here a vintage watch specialist ?
Added a vintage Olma to my collection, can anyone let me know what the exact model name is and how old the watch may be ?
Cheers in advance !

Pop the case back off and check out when was the movement produced. Google the exact name of it and you will have a time frame at least.
I am not sure that small Swiss brands had model numbers or names that were for general consumption. I am sure that they had them for internal purposes, but unless you can find some of their corporate material it will be a dead end. We know big brands because they have a continuous history. You will be lucky to narrow a date range to a five year period. The use of the trademarked symbol should also give you a clue. Most Olma are just lettered dials.

Found out it is in an FHF96, got it opened up and readjusted on a timegrapher by a watchmaker today as well 👌🏽

Thanks for the advice! 🙏🏽
