Definitely legit, don't see any indication of military markings, there are more pocket watch focused collectors around than I, serial would put it around 1913-1914

Age: Case serial is about 1912/1913.
Model: would just be an "Omega Gents Lépine".
War Issue: No.

The movement could be a caliber 19''' and it looks to be early as the serial number is hidden under the dial.
Without an accurate measurement of the movement it's difficult to say if it is a 19'''.
The movement is missing the swan neck regulator spring.

Would be a caliber 18''' that was produced in variations from 1896 to 1913.
It has the same basic architecture as the caliber 19''' which was named "Omega", and led to the company (Louis Brandt & Fils) being re-named to Omega in about 1904, can't remember the exact year.
