Looking for info on my old Omega GP pocket Watch

Hello!
My name is Lovisa and I´m a student from Sweden. My love for antiques goes deep and is something I will probably never recover from 😉
I´ve always had an interest in pocket watches, so this Christmas I got one from my dad!

My dad bought the watch in 1972 when he was about 22 years old from a friend, and he's had it in a drawer since.
It´s fully functional and works like a charm.
I´ve tried to do some research, but I´m having trouble knowing what´s true, so that´s why I´m writing here.
Someone who owned it before my father or his friend has `engraved` "År 1908" (It´s Swedish for "The Year 1908") and a bit further down we think it says "Albert Fransson".
According to Google, the watch has both german and swiss marks (the coq de bruyère and the Halbmond und Reichskrone I think)
I´ve tried to find pictures online of watches that look like mine, but they never match.
So what I want to know is: if its fake or real, Age, History if possible, where it's from and what the 0/O under the 7 digit nr means
Thank you in advance for any information!
Here are some pictures of the watch

Thank you! Yeah, thought about using another title but didnt want to sound rude. Must have something to do with my swedish shyness😉😟

As long as a new member isn’t here to sell or get a value on the watch and then disappear, they can comfortably ask a direct question in the thread title

Case serial number is from about 1907 based on this table from Omega:


That is consistent with your engraving. I don’t know the meaning of the “0” under the serial number.

Pictures of the movement may help with further identification.

Is there a picture of the movement?
Yeah I have added it to the post. I forgot to add it when I did the original thread 😀
