An Antique Omega Pocket Watch, C1914

An antique Omega pocket watch, c1914.

The watch has a stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the Omega name and the serial number of 4,481,926 dates it back to around 1914. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover upon which are details of medals won at the 1900 Grand Prix exhibition in Paris.

The watch itself measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are Continental marks inside both of the case backs, together with the early Omega logo. The case is in the galonne style which is silver with a rose gold wash around the edge. The case has a couple of small indentations to the side and a few minor surface marks but overall it is very acceptable for such an early piece.

The watch has an acrylic lens which is in very nice condition. Quite often the original glass lenses are replaced with later acrylic lenses, it is difficult to tell the difference just by looking at them but they are more durable.

The signed white enamel dial is in lovely condition. Blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
