Satisfied?

 

Ok guys, if you all really want to see more, I just sold this Dennison cased trench style dating from 1929

 

Or for Zenith lovers how about this ww1 Canadian trench watch

 

A Moeris surviver

 

I suppose it bears repeating for the obvious numbers of trench watch lovers out there that the is a book on this specific subject

 

And the US contribution, too!

 

Cyma gets the glass broken down at six

 

Forgot to post this before, Shadow Box was the numeral style name, at least the US produced ones.

 

You're the best. Thank you!

 

Anyone got an opinion on what on earth this piece is?

The lugs look to have been added later, - from their shape, - but I cant figure out what this watch was originally: Converted pendant/lapel watch? But the numbers seem to be in all the wrong positions for that?

Or is it one of those mythical Omega left-handed watches?

I'm also not used to seeing the Omega movement layout on movements which are unmarked (especially where the case IS marked!). Is there some reason for this as well, which is connected with the whole layout? The dial being unmarked doesn't phase me as much, - it could have been changed at any time in the last century or so?

This supposed trench watch was, as noted, made a decade or so before trenches came into fashion, - at least the seller doesnt try to describe it as a military! Unlike all the other under-27mm watches one sees on ebay 'described' as being designed for all the ladies in the trenches!

 

I say that the lowest dimension for a man size is 33 mm. Like this one


P.S.
This is not spam...

 

I would tend to agree but isnt one of the most desirable of them the Zenith Land & Water? I have seen them in around 27mm! (or is there a lady's version?)

 

In this commercial poster from a very good site you will find that is a watch that can be ordered by anyone who want a dust proof watch and to know the time to the very second.

 

It's not unusual at that time to not have any Mark's name on outside plates of movements. Maybe ask for pics with plate under the dial.

In this ad you will find the model on three different sizes 10, 12 and 13.

 

I think that it's an open face movement used to a wristwatch. See the missing second hand.

Can you show more of this watch please?

 

Hi
The Cyma it's at the watchmaker for service its blocked and its it's in a need of revision.
I have only one pic with movement in my phone.

 

Hi
I find with very much effort a minute hand for this Omega not an original hand but….

 

Hi
