Antique Labrador (Omega) Pocket Watch

An antique Labrador (Omega) pocket watch, circa 1900, originally retailed by Kendal & Dent of London.

The watch has a stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed Labrador Reg Mark and it has the Omega logo to the regulator. Labrador was introduced in 1894 and was one of the first series-produced calibres from the Brandt family who went on to form Omega.  The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover that is engraved with the wording, ‘Kendal & Dent, London, Swiss Made’.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are Swiss hallmarks for 935 silver inside both of the case backs. There is some unevenness to the centre section of the case, and also to the case back.

The glass is in good condition.

The white enamel dial has a couple of hairline cracks at the bottom, towards the edge of the dial, but otherwise looks good. One of the hands is a later replacement.

The watch comes with a silver single albert and fob. The chain measures 35cm long in total and is hallmarked on the clasp and T-bar for 1902. Each of the links has the lion silver mark. The fob is a much later addition.

The watch and chain comes in a vintage presentation box.
