The second one is a CK 1010, with caliber 36.5 and a nice thin case.

 

I realize that my interest has slowly drifted from wristwatches only to bot pocket and wrist watches.

Some examples of what I like (I don't show pics of the calibers and dials for all of them but they all are Omega of course!)

A 19 CHRO :


The one for the blind :



A nice D quality in blue steel hunter case :




Some early (1906-1910) decorated silver cases :




A silver semi hunter with its specific hour hand :

 

Wowzers, nice pieces! The braille is fascinating, and gunmetal looks really cool

 

Great to see you back Yann. You have been missed (and often quoted!).

 

Oups, I looked a little bit too quickly at the pictures. If it is indeed the CK374 specific dial, it isn't the case or hands of the quarantenaire watch. The dial was also used on other references like those ones.
It was too late to edit...

 

Of course there is no Omega pocket watch thread without some Diplomats :

The same watches as the ones displayed in this 1940 catalog :


Two other dial variations :

 

No one posting other pocket watches?
I'll continue with one I have just bought : a nice 1939 steel CK 1021 with décor Clement caseback, cal 38.5L T1. I still have to clean the movement totally stuck by dry oil, change the crystal and look for a correct seconds hand :

here in 1939 catalogs :



Mine :

 

OMG! So many truly beautiful Omega Pocket Watches. I'm going to have to go through this again more slowly and try not to drool too much!
I'll also do some better shots of mine to post in time ...

 

Here is another one I would like to share (again... I hope I won't be too boring).

It's a ref CK 1056, from around 1938. It's particularity is to have a central second. For this, Omega didn't adapt one of its numerous pocket watch movements, but simply put a wristwatch movement in it. It is the caliber 23.4SC, the first Omega caliber with central second, which was in the Medicus, Naiad, St Christophe, (etc...) references. Therefore it looks very small in a PW case!

Here in a 1939 French catalog :


Mine :



And here on a Czech period advertising :

This ad is shown p. 100 of AJTT, where Marco Richon links it to ref 1107 with caliber 30SC.

OK I may be wrong... but, with all due respect for Marco Richon's awsome work, I think the ad is displaying a ref 1056 for three reasons :
(1) the ad shows the same dial+hands as in the catalogs and on the 1056 I have,
(2) the 1107 bow looks thinner than on my 1056, on the one displayed on the catalogs and on the ad, and
(3) the crown is the same on my 1056, the catalog and the ad, and is different (smaller and inserted in the tube) on the 1107 pictured in AJTT.

 

Very nice pieces and research @Tire-comedon ! Having the advertising to accompany them really adds a layer to your collection

 

@Tire-comedon always a treat.

Here is a 38.5 from my collection also with decor caseback.

 

This is ridiculous! Yann, your posts are never boring – always informative, interesting, illuminating – and invariably illustrated!
Again, we are pleased to see you back.

 

An other decor caseback.

 

What?
Boring?
Not really.
As if your wrist watches were not enough, you now have started an interest in pocket watches, rather beautiful ones at that.

I am hoping for the day that this COVID thing is all over and I can see them in person (and you of course Yann ).

 

I agree with your comments about the entry in AJTT.
Here's my version, OT1056 (also 1938).

 

Caseback décor

One of the ways that manufacturers could make their pocket watches more attractive was to decorate the caseback. In his post above, @Tire-comedon shows some early (1906-1910) decorated silver cases. But in the 1930s, Omega developed many different styles, in each case naming them and advertising the different options. This was particularly relevant on some gold cases (but it was not exclusive to gold), often involving watches with 37.5 and 38.5 movements.

Some of the names used by Omega were as follows:
Rémi, Raphael, Philippe, Pallas, Raoul, Roger, Cubique, Martin.
Tire-comedon shows a Clément and the version shown by @cosma was a Maurice.

 

The following shows a variety of bows used on Omega 37.5 pocket watches.

 

Thanks for your informations.

 

It will be a pleasure to welcome you here in Paris!

 

This one in Gold + black dial is gorgeous!

I confirm the Maurice decor, weldone :
