Antique Silver Omega Pocket Watch, 1912

Antique silver Omega pocket watch, 1912.

The watch has a stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the Omega name and the serial number, 4,074,725, dates it back to around 1912. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which is signed with the Omega name together with details of medals won at the Paris exhibition in 1900.

The watch measures 49mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver with rose gold wash detail. There are Continental 800 silver marks inside the case back. The case is in very nice condition, just one small “ding” to the side. Unusually the rose gold wash is still in nice condition, often it rubs off over the years.

The watch has a nice thick glass lens. It has minor marking but is very acceptable.

The signed dial has had a later 24 hour label applied. This was often seen in watches that were used for military purposes in the first World War. There are a couple of faint hairline cracks by number 7, and a small chip by number 3 but this is mostly covered by the bezel.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
