Welcome. Nice watch. When you have it overhauled the watchmaker can tell you the model number and more. The information is on the inside of the case. If you have the original box and papers make sure to keep them. Is that the original bracelet? Please post some pictures after you have it serviced.

Welcome to the forum. It's great to have a piece with family history. If you don't have a watchmaker identified already for the repair/restoration, I'd suggest reaching out to Archer and see if he is taking on new clients. He's Omega trained and also repaired my great grandfather's Elgin pocket watch with care. He photographs the entire disassembly, cleaning and repair process and sends a photo log with the watch after service, which is a really nice thing to have to accompany a family piece to pass on to future generations.
