·Hello everybody,
I've inherited several Omega watches a few years ago, and tried try to find what model they were, but with no results.
I recently grew a strong interest in watchmaking and decided to open them myself to see the calibers.
The pocket watch is a caliber 43.15 L, "Omega Watch CO Grade Verybest" and it's working perfectly fine and seems in great condition.
From the information I gathered they made 600 of this caliber: 300 “Lépine” movements (for open-face watch) and 300 “savonnette” movements (for hunting-case watch).
I've seen a few S calibers on golden pocket watches but the only L I've seen is this one, and it got a different face: https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-pocket-watch-chronometre-generating-interest.46729/
I searched for hours and didn't found the same exact face my watch has.
The case is made in steel (Acier Staybrite) and the serial number is in the 8 million range. I don't know if it's safe to share them, thus I hid the end of the one on the movement (It's in the 5 million range).
I've got several questions:
- Is it authentic ? And if yes:
- Does somebody have more information on this particular model ?
- How much is it worth approximately ? Although I didn't think I'll sell it as it's belonged to my family.
I don't think the other watches are as rare so I'll try to search more before asking here again.
Thanks a lot for your help
PS: English is not my main language so there's may be mistakes on technical terms.
