Antique Omega Half Hunter Pocket Watch, 1908

An antique Omega half hunter pocket watch.

The watch has a stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement has the early Omega logo, and is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch itself measures 51mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside both case backs for London (import mark) 1908 together with the mark SA (this stood for "Selling Agency", first registered by Dimier Brothers in 1907 purely for importing Omega watches) and also the early Omega stamp. The case is in good condition with just a hint of gentle unevenness in places, and the engine turned detail has worn just from use over the years. The front cover has a small acrylic lens surrounded by Roman numerals infilled with dark blue enamel. There is a small indentation by the hinge. There is a cartouche with initials on the back of the watch.

The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover. Inside there is an acrylic lens which is in good condition. The white enamel dial has a faint hairline crack radiating from the centre but it is difficult to see with the naked eye. Note the special half hunter style hands so that the time can be read even when the front cover is closed.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
