I'm wondering if any of you can help me? I found my 1 year old playing with an ornament at my father-in-laws. After taking it off her I found out it was an old Omega watch with a stopwatch function. I can't find anything online apart from the rough age of 1910(ish). I've seen a few similar but without the stopwatch. Could anyone tell me the model name and possible value? I'd like to let him know what he inherited...and why he should put it on a higher shelf away from little fingers! ha ha
Hello and welcome! I believe I have found your watch but I would love to see the movement. I believe it is the Chronograph 18''' P CHRO from around 1916 as pictured in the following advertisement. The .925 and the SA "Selling Agency" sponsor mark indicates a British import. I can't identify the "r" or the other mark. Obviously, this is the silver or Argent version and yours has Roman numerals. Please post a movement shot. Value can vary but I don't feel it's a lot. Let's see more and let some experts join us.
Thank you, that's great! I should be able to get a picture of the movement at the weekend. The watch hasn't been touched for 20 years so I'll see if I can get ease the rear cover open as it was pretty stiff when I last tried and I gave up in fear of damaging it.
@UncleBuck has most of it covered. The is the London Assay Office "import" mark (which is badly stamped upside down) and the stamp "r" is the London Assay Office date letter for 1912. So you have silver cased a Swiss watch that entered the UK in about 1912. Can't wait to see the rest.
