Antique Omega Full Hunter Pocket Watch

Antique Omega full hunter pocket watch.

The watch has a signed stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has some unevenness.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold filled and was made by Fahys, a New York based case maker. Joseph Fahys & Co was a high quality watch case maker with headquarters in New York. The company was founded in 1857 by Joseph Fahys, a French emigrant, and the company supplied Omega with cases at the beginning of the 20th Century.

The case has engine turned detail to both the front and back, and there is a cartouche to the front with very faint initials scratched into it, but you have to look carefully to see them. The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover.

Inside, there is a glass lens which is in lovely condition (there is a lot of reflection in the photo but that’s all it is).

The signed dial is in lovely condition. Originally there would have been an inner ring with 24 hour numbers but this has faded over the years. Ornate hands (one is probably a period replacement as one is slightly darker than the other).

The watch comes in an antique presentation box from a Bristol jeweller. The box is showing signs of age but still nice to have.

ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
