Antique Silver Omega Chronograph 19’’’, C1900

UK POSTAGE ONLY FOR THIS ITEM

Antique silver Omega chronograph 19’’’, c1900.

The watch has a 19’’’ CHRO stem-winding movement, believed to be Grade C, which is working nicely. The Omega 19’’’ pocket watch was introduced in 1894, followed by the chronograph version, the 19’’’ CHRO as we have here, in 1898. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 53mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The 19’’’ CHRO was produced as both an open face and hunter variations, here we have the open face or lépine. The case is silver and there are Continental marks for 935 silver inside both of the case backs. The inner back cover also has the early Omega logo although it is quite rubbed and faint.

The case has a 0.5cm indentation to the side and the odd minor mark but overall the condition is very acceptable for such an early piece.

The lens glass lens is in good condition.

There were various options with regards to the design of the dial, and this particular dial is not signed and this is quite usual, particularly if the retailer wanted the option of adding their own details.

Original hands, the minute hand is slightly out of shape. Two subsidiary dials, one to record up to 30 minutes and the other for constant seconds.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
