    Hi Artur, welcome to the Forum!
    What have you found out yourself already on this watch?
    Are there for example stamps for the gold in the case, have you tried to google the serial number (that is the multi-digit number on the inner side), other things?
    Curious!

    Hi Artur,

    18LPB is the big clue here... googeling that will tell you that this is a pocket watch movement... and this is not a pocket watch - so someone has taken a pocket watch and "married" it into a wrist watch case - these are known (amongst other more derogatory terms) as a marriage watch.

    So bit's of it are original Omega... just not the case, and probably not the dial, or the hands... just the movement really...

    Just google "omega watch calibre numbers" and you'll find out that the movement is made somewhere between 1915 and 1923, so around 1919-1920 or thereabouts. If you then google on "omega vintage 20's" you might find some extra information too.

    BTW: are those scissors you used to open the backside with?
    Oops... :eek:

    Good hunting!

    Uhhm, I really do not want to be rude, but the first pic on the i-net gives you an overview of the serial numbers. Check out yours (let's say 5.6 million) and you will date your watch as stated.

    Artur, I've googled it for you, and given you the answer.

    18LBP is the calibre/movement number.

    The 18LBP calibre was used in pocket watches.

    The movement you have is Omega - the case and dial are not.

    But if you are able to find the right dial and case, it might be a very nice watch!

    The movement is an Omega Calibre/Movement 18LPB - the rest of the "watch" is not Omega, or original to this calibre/movement.

    You have a movement that looks to be in a bad state, with none of the rest of the watch.

    Unless you have some sentimental attachment... which given the state of it, I'd find hard to believe, it is not going to be economically viable to do anything with this watch movement.

    Hi Artur,

    It is very unlikely that Omega will be able to find you a case for this movement.

    Pocket watches tend to not sell for very much money, as they are not that popular with modern watch wearers... the lack of waistcoats in modern dress doesn't really allow for them to be worn - hence conversions to wrist watches.

    Maybe check out eBay and see what sort of values you'd be looking at, before decided to spend anything on this project.

    Be informed first before spending money.

    Good hunting!
