Description

Antique silver Omega pocket watch, 1916.

The watch has a stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the Omega name, and it has the serial number 5112246 which dates it back to around 1916. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which is signed Omega and it also has images of various medals.

The watch measures 49mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is 800 silver and there are Continental silver marks inside both the case backs. Originally the case would have had rose gold wash detail around the edges but only traces now remain. The case is in good condition, a couple of minor “dings” to the side but not too serious at all.

The acrylic lens is in lovely condition.

The signed dial has been handsomely refinished at some stage; the red number 12 is a nice feature.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Date of Manufacture

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this Silver Omega Pocket Watch to the 1910s.

This open-face pocket watch dates from the WW1 era and carries the Omega signature on the white enamel dial and stem-winding movement. The round case is constructed from 800 silver with Continental silver marks inside the case backs, while the dial displays black Arabic numerals alongside a red twelve and a subsidiary seconds dial at the six o'clock position. The exterior features an acrylic lens, an onion crown, and a suspension loop at the top, with traces of rose gold wash remaining around the edges of the silver case. Measuring 49 mm in diameter excluding the winding stem and loop, the piece fits comfortably in the pocket or sits on a desk as a functional display item. It suits a gentleman's library or study as a practical timepiece or a decorative desk accessory. The movement is in working order, and the case exhibits a few minor dings to the side from age and handling.

FAQs

Open-face pocket watches, often used by railway workers and military personnel, became increasingly popular in the early 1900s for their quick legibility without opening a protective lid. Major Swiss manufacturers refined movement accuracy during this era to meet demanding institutional standards.

Cases were typically crafted from solid silver or silver plate, housing porcelain enamel dials fired for clarity and durability. Internal mechanical components utilised brass plates, steel gears, and ruby jewels to minimise friction.

Authentic pieces feature hallmarks stamped inside the case back indicating silver purity and manufacture year, alongside serial numbers on the movement. Dials often display period-correct typography, such as a contrasting red twelve marker.

Decorative pocket watches are frequently displayed under glass cloches, mounted on specialized metal watch stands, or presented within shadow boxes placed on bookshelves, mantelpieces, or desk setups.

A mechanical watch requires professional horological servicing every few years to clean and re-oil movement components. Store in a dry environment away from magnetic fields, moisture, and extreme temperature shifts.
