Omega pocket watch movement question.....

Raymondo5508 · May 25, 2018

Hi,
Can any of the members let me know if this is an Omega movement it is unsigned but all the indications are it could well be? Any hell as always is much appreciated. Cheers Russell.

I did some digging, some close but nothing was a match with Omega. You have the piece in hand so hopefully you can drill down harder with the advanced search.

Size of movement?

Raymondo5508 · May 26, 2018

Hi,
I don't have the watch on hand as was looking at buying it. The case measures 57mm overall.
Cheers Russell.

It's hard to be certain about the caliber, since many Omega PW movements have similar layouts. But it could be something like this cal 19''', or a variant. I'm not sure whether Omega provided ebauches to other manufacturers.

It does have an Omega look about it.

The tail of the barrel bridge has the scallop at the balance wheel area similar to an Omega 26.5 (12.5'''), but the click is in the wrong place as is the movement layout. (Image from Dr Ranfft).

Possibly an ebauche made by another company that also supplied to Omega (Tissot? Lemania?)

Without more detailed information (accurate movement dimensions, dial markings) it's hard to pin down.

Hi,
Much older than a 26.5 and probably larger. We would need the serial number (engraved on the plate under the dial) and of course the size.
The Non magnetic / 15 jewels lever and swiss made inscriptions don’t match the period imho

Hi Guys,

I'm a total noob at this stuff (first post apart from my introduction). I have an Omega pocket watch (the movement number dates it to ca.1912). Movement diameter is 37mm. I know you all like pictures (watch porn????) so here they are...........You can see on the last pic that the barrel bridge doesn't have the scallop at the balance end also the click is a different shape. There are probably some more differences I didn't catch but like I said - noob.

I hope this helps.
