Description

Gents 1930s Omega wrist watch.

The watch has a calibre R17.8 15-jewel hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 9165914 which dates it back to the mid 1930s.

The watch measures 25.5mm wide excluding the later winding crown, and 25.5mm high excluding the lugs. The case is stainless steel and it is in good condition with just light surface marks and some short scratches to the edge of the back. The inside of the case back has the Omega logo, together with the case reference 3831 which is correct for the calibre R17.8.

The convex lens has a little minor marking if you look closely.

The signed dial is in its original finish with a sunburst finish… it has probably darkened a shade or two over the years, and there is general light marking. The hands have been re-painted at some stage.

A later leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
