Antique Omega Gun Metal Pocket Watch

An antique Omega pocket watch, circa 1890s.

The watch has a stem-winding movement which is ticking away nicely and the time keeping is good to within around two minutes over 24 hours. The movement is signed Omega on the balance cock.

The watch measures 51mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the stem. The case is gun metal with gold plated embellishments. There are some marks to the case, as with most gun metal cases, but overall the condition is pleasing for its age. The inside of the outer cover has the Omega logo and both back covers have the serial number 1,657,546.

The watch has a replacement plastic lens which is in good condition with just light surface scratches.

The enamel dial is signed by the original retailers Morath Brothers of Liverpool. The Morath family were originally from the Black Forest region of Germany, and became renowned importers and distributors of watches and clocks, especially cuckoo clocks. The dial is in lovely condition and has blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and minute markers picked out in gold and silver paint.
