    Hi all,

    I recently came into possession of an Omega pocket watch. It’s a really nice piece that caught my eye right at the start. Unfortunately it just is a nice watch now collecting dust that I don’t feel a strong connection and have decided it would be best for this amazing look piece to go to someone who will appreciate it more.

    Maker: Omega

    Production: Case and movement production dates typically do not match and could be years apart. Likewise this watch’s production ranges likely between 1916-1919.

    Movement: 19 Ligne (15 Jewels)
    Bi-metallic, temperature compensating balance wheel, blued steel Breguet (overcoil) hairspring.

    I was informed while this is not a luxury grade version of this movement, it is still above average.

    Cons: Watch sporadically allows winding or wont wind and/or set time, Likewise needs someone to further evaluate.
    Missing a plate screw.


    Dial: 12-hour enamel with Breguet-style numerals
    Great condition for its age.
    Believe to be original!

    Hands: Amazing blued steel squared style hands
    I have not seen another set like these

    Case: Coin Silver (.900)
    This watch most likely was sold in Germany due to the presence of the “Halbmond und Reichskrone” symbol (Crown in the crescent). This symbol is a German hallmark requirement for silver items sold in that country.

    Overall the watch appears to be in very good condition beyond moment concerns stated previously.

    Price: $750, OBO US shipping included.
    Please message me to discuss non US shipping options.

    References: OF references available as buyer, this is my first sale on OF.

    please see photos or ask questions as needed.

    Watch and I are in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA

    For anyone who might be interested, the Omega silver swing out cases are less common and don't come up for sale too often.

    GLWTS @Dr.K :thumbsup:

    End of the business week bump.
    Otherwise I’ll have to contact my watch maker to preform maintenance and keep for myself! :)

    If you sell the watch, the money will likely be gone in a week or less. Then all you’ll have is nothing but the memory.

    Looks like I’m holding onto this one for a bit, it’ll be back someday. :)
