1920-1930 omega help

vestige77 · Jan 22, 2023

Hi,

I recently purchased this vintage WW era Omega from Ebay and was wondering if anyone has any deeper knowledge about this one, couldn't find any similar ones with a simple google search?
Also I'm worried about the radium, could I bring this to a Omega Service Centre for them to apply some non radioactive substitute?

The watch looks authentic. Movement is a cal. 23.7

I would keep the watch as is. Radium is not dangerous for you as long as you don´t open the watch completely (inhale radium-dust).
Omega would ask hefty money for the service and you will lose the originality of the watch.
If you intend to wear the watch have it serviced by a competent independent watchmaker. If not, keep it as is...

Hello, are there some inscriptions inside (or outside) the caseback? If yes pictures would help determine if the case is Omega factory or a distributor one.
