·Hello everybody. ![Smile :) :)](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png)
I’m asking your advice today about a particular watch that I would want to buy. It’s what’s looks to be a WWI era omega trench watch. I don’t have any knowledge regarding this particular kind of watches (even if I have a few « goussets » and I tried to do my best to make some researches. I searched on google and here on OF (https://omegaforums.net/threads/nice-omega-trench.19096/ ; https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-regina-trench-watches.62646/ ; https://omegaforums.net/threads/early-omega-wristwatch.33026/page-3 ) and couldn’t find any mechanism that would look identical to this one.
Here are the pictures :

The serial number of the mechanism would confirm the watch was made between 1915 and 1923 but what is surprising is that there isn’t any omega inscriptions on it even if according to my research all omega mechanisms should be marked as such. After looking a bit more I found a mechanism that looks very similar and described as an « Early omega wristwatch movement » but not sure if it’s the same one.. :

The seller is asking approx 300 € for the watch, what do you think about the authenticity of the watch? I really love the design of the watch and I really think it could be a unique addition to my small collection.
Thanks in advance for all your help and greeting from Brussels!
Edit : forgot to mention the link where I found the Information concerning the mechanism, here it is : https://www.vintagewatchstraps.com/omega.php
