Hi guys! Just got married two days ago and my mom knows I’ve been dying to get my hands on an Omega. As a wedding gift she got me this really awesome vintage Omega but I can’t find much info on it. Any thoughts or identification you guys might have that I don’t? From what she was told it was in the era of 1905-1915ish. Regardless of actual age I’m in love with it.
Cheers

Hi and congratulations.

Your watch has a 1930s pocket watch movement/dial/hands which was put into a modern wristwatch case also known as a marriage, which is pretty appropriate 👍

Lovely dial on that one.
Cheers, Michael

Congrats on your wedding. It is a nice gift but it is not an Omega model as it might have left the factory.

This is a pocketwatch conversion - a pocket watch movement recased in a newly built case.

Most important is that you like it and it will remind you every time you wear it...

Congrats on the marriage. I usually don’t like those converted pocket watches but yours looks very nice. On top of that it will always has sentimental value which you can’t top.

Thank you for the information! I had no idea it was a pocket watch conversion. “Factory” doesn’t really matter to me and I like the idea of two different types being married together. Given the significance of the piece.
