The first Omega Time Computers probably date to mid-1974 to early 1975. The Swiss were slow to enter the LED market because 1: They weren't analog watches...what they knew best, and 2: It wasn't for a year or so they realized how big the market was getting. Your problem was certainly caused by that incompetant jeweler; I can't believe he lost a part and handed the watch back to you [and didn't say anything?!]. Your batteries are now making intermittant contact, and every time that happens, the module can re-set to a random new time; you need a replacement [bow-tie] connector. As for finding it a new home, there are a number of Omega collectors on the Forum [myself included], and of course, there is always eBay. BTW, one or two-button? The one-button [time-only] models were the first made, and come in 14K goldfilled, 14K white-goldfilled, and a limited edition in 18K solid.
