·I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable about vintage Omega pocket watches can help me with this one. I'm not new to the brand, but am new to their pocket watches.
Here is the watch in question, sourced in France with an nice intact porcelain dial and a French market "importe de suisse" marking at 6 o'clock.
Watch is 48mm in diameter (minus stem). Yes, I know a movement retaining screw is missing, I'm getting that addressed.
I'd like to know what the case is made from. Would this be nickel-plated brass, chromed base metal, copper-nickel-zinc alloy (i.e. silveroid or similar), or something else? I'm assuming not stainless or it would be marked Acier Inoxidable (or similar) - correct?
The serial number places it around 1934.
