·A Werner or Wilhelm Wiedenmann should be strongly interested ;-)
Look like a steel-case. worth: $250 IMO

··Melbourne AustraliaI don't provide valuations unless the request includes a brief history of the watch and a detailed explanation of how the OP came into possession of said watch.

·If you look around on line, you’ll see Omega pocket watches offered for sale for as little as $120.00, all the way to $1,600.00. These prices don't reflect market value. They are asking prices. The pocket watch market being what it is, market values are set by buyers, not sellers. What’s your’s worth? Take your pick. It’s worth more to your family than it is to anyone else.

·It looks to be a nice watch in original condition, but not one of the particularly special or collectible models. As a result it wouldn't sell for very much, maybe a couple of hundred currency units. Given the history, I'd assume it has much more sentimental value than actual financial value.
Wiedenmann is/was probably a retailer.

··Melbourne AustraliaOK, here we go.
Your watch is an Omega Art Deco Lépine, model "Fengos" circa 1930 (more like 1933 going by the movement serial number).
Fengos, in Greek, means "as shiny as the sun".
Reference CK 397 KJ. Caliber 35.5 LOB T1 15P.
It has a silvered dial with "Empire" numerals and blued steel "Maltese Cross" hands.
Housed in a stainless steel case with a bevelled bezel, flared case middle and a fancy bow with shoulders.
Due to its quality and condition and relative rarity, I would price it in the Australan market at about $500, slightly more for insurance purposes.
I hope this helps.

··Melbourne AustraliaJ JAThankyou for your help. I still have not found any reference to the Wiedenmann on the face I have searched to see if anyone else has one the same without success. Does this make it even rarer
As noted by @Fallout Boy, it's most likely the name of the retailer in 1930s Zurich.
Trying to find out who/what they were after 90 years is a stretch.
And no, it doesn't make the watch any more special, or "rarer".
