I could use help identifying my Omega

Kingjacobsghost · Jan 14, 2021

Hi , my name's jacob and recently came in to possession of an Omega pocket watch, from the passing of my grandmother. Unfortunately I know absolutely nothing about watches (other than they sometimes tell you what time it is ) . If anyone could tell me what I have , it would be greatly appreciated. I tried to research it myself, but some of the terms I was coming across confused me and I gave up. Agaiñ thanks for any future help received.

Also, I need to say I'm not a professional photographer either , sorry for the quality of photos here's the numbers I can read

Thank you. I got a starting point now to see if I can get it fixed

It has the shape of the cal 19’´´. But depending on the size and other details, it is it not necessary a 19’´´. In this case, I think it is a 17LB as written under the balance.

You have a Swiss silver cased (Swiss bear hallmark) Omega Lépine from approx 1920.
It has a caliber 17L in grade "B" which was introduced in 1898 and was used for many years by Omega.
The porcelain dial has "Paris" style arabic numerals and it has blued steel "Empire" style hands.
Obviously missing a sub-second hand which shouldn't be too hard to replace.

While not particularly rare or valuable, it would be worth getting it properly serviced and retained as a family memento.

Thanks you guys have been a great help. Would you happen to know the value ? It doesn't run and there's a small crack on front. It winds but nothing else really

As @JimInOz implied, the value is probably more sentimental than financial. But it's a solid watch that can be repaired and kept in the family.
