What do you think of it...is it good for birdwatching or some cheap Chinese crap?

Welcome cormoran.

Looks like an old Japanese standard binocular with 3 element eyepieces.
Probably O.K.
Worth about £15, maybe £20 if well aligned.
Coatings basic at best.

Hi Comoran,
As Binastro said, Japanese, not crap, but no great value. I had an Omega 8x30 and it was not bad, how does it view, clear and sharp? it looks in good condition so might make around £20 perhaps up to £25 on the auction site.

The EPs and coatings look good. Pretty solid Japanese stuff.
There are early Omegas, with wide fovs and wide EP glass,
but uncoated and short eye relief...not great.

These are not those....pretty solid stuff.
Given the age (even though they look young), the
contrast would smarten up with internal cleaning.
