    Greetings from Manila, Philippines!

    It’s #RizalDay
    Sharing this Omega private label pocket watch for Estrella del Norte, an early 20th century upscale boutique located in Escolta, Manila. Dated to 1916, this pocket watch is a time capsule from the days of American Imperialism, as Filipinos then pledged allegiance to the American Flag and the Philippine Islands were her crown jewels in the orient.

    I’m curious about the case, does this aid with opening it?
