1938 Omega Pocket Watch and Chain

1938 Omega pocket watch and chain.

The watch has a stem-winding movement, 15-jewel calibre 38.5L T1, which was in production from 1933 until 1949. This particular movement is numbered 8935576 which dates it back to around 1938. The movement is working nicely, and it is signed Omega. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has a few scratches where an opening tool has slipped in the past.

The watch measures 48mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is nickel and overall it is in good condition for such an early piece, just a little unevenness to the hinged case back. The inner case back is signed with the Omega logo.

The glass lens is in lovely condition.

The signed dial has some faint hairlines around the perimeter but you have to look very carefully to see them.

The watch comes with a single chain, 33cm long including the T-bar, and with a 1953 Clydach Coronation fob. Clydach is a large village and community in the county of Swansea, South Wales.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
