Hi all,
I recently came into possession of an Omega pocket watch. I was able to do some basic research and learn that the watch was made and cased maybe a year or two later. Essentially a 1916-1919 give or take.
Could someone suggest a resource to help me learn more about this item?
Otherwise any input from members is always appreciated.
I’m debating whether if I should keep this one or let it go.
Thanks!

The "crown in the crescent" (Halbmond und Reichskrone) hallmark is a German requirement for fine silver items sold in that country.

“Fine silver” is the description of 1.000 pure silver. The watch is not fine silver. It is coin silver (.900 fine). Does the crown and crescent mark also apply to silver alloys?
Sorry if I misspoke.....the crown and crescent mark in Germany is required for silver fineness 800/1000 and better. Thanks for the heads up.
This watch brings up an interesting point - it seems that sterling or coin silver cases are far more rare than gold cases or the gold filled ones either. I'm guessing tastes, but man I wish the few pocket watches I had were sterling (or coin) silver instead of gold plate.
