1930s Omega Pocket Watch and Chain

A 1930s Omega pocket watch and chain.

The watch has a stem-winding movement, 38.5L T1, which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the Omega name and the serial number 8,741,267 dates it back to the second half of the 1930s. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has some marking to the edge.

The watch itself measures 47.5mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is nickel and the inside of the hinged case back has the Omega triangular stamp. The case has a couple of small “dings” to the back but otherwise is in good condition, as is the lens.

The dial is signed with the Omega name and logo, together with the name of the original retailer Hamilton & Inches of Edinburgh, a high class jeweller founded in 1866. The company was first granted a Royal Warrant more than 120 years ago, appointed “His Majesty’s Clockmaker and Keeper and Dresser of His Majesty’s Clocks, Watches and Pendulums in Palaces and Houses in his Ancient Kingdom of Scotland.” The dial on this particular watch has some light marking and some age related darkening but still easy to read and it has a charming appearance with Breguet style hands in a blued steel, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers.

The watch comes with a double albert with each chain measuring 24.5cm long including the T-bar and the clasp.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
