I love the numbers font on this one, I couldn't identify the model or the decor. I have spotted the same dial in a 1937 Italian catalog :

Wow, impressive. Including the 'chronometre...'. What we see shows museum grade condition.

·I would like to show two 'large' pocket watches tonight. I've always liked those sturdy cases. Not very elegant but, when in hand, you feel you can trust the thing to resist all situations...
The first one is a 20 lignes in a 60 mm case. With a case number in the 1.434M range, it is a very early model, maybe before 1900, Omega didn't use the 2M series and moved to 3M in 1902 for its case numbering.
It looks like this same model in a 1906 catalog by Kirby Bread & Co, a then Omega official distributor in Paris. The ad says something like 'Extra sturdy model to resist the tremor of the coaches and cars' :
And mine :
The 20 lignes caliber :
The second one is a much later, 1935, railroad one, with a 56 mm case and a cal 40.6L T2 15 jewels inside.
I suspect it is a MA 164 NR, issued for the Serbian Railways and described in AJTT p. 215 :
Except for the bow, which doesn't fit well and looks a replacement, mine is identical, and the 8.106 caliber / 8.781M case serials are compatible with the 1935 datation :
The 40.6L T2 caliber :
EDITED TO ADD A PICTURE OF THE BACK (I knew I had forgotten something!!
)
Hope to see more pocket watches, I'm sure a lot of members have some gems that are worth posting. Don't hesitate, contribute to this thread!

·My humble PW collection contains only 2 Omegas (besides a Longines chronograph with minute repeater and a PP with quarter repeater and a Lange und Söhne OF)
It was a lucky strike to find this chronometre de bord:
It has the rare and huge cal. 47.7
most of these movements were cased in large wooden boxes with gimbal for nautical purpose.
Mine is the much rarer version in a SS case.

Superb watch!
Here it is in a 1940 French catalog :

·Posting a much less interesting caliber than the ones MacOmega mentionned, I found this one, from around 1923, quite interesting for the dial, with a style for the numbers that isn't common :
Standard 19 lignes grade B inside :

·I have a single one ... would love one with font like in the OP 🥰 But this sector dial is just lovely...could imagine it on my wrist...
Anybody know what caliber this is?
Hi,
Looks like a cal 37,5. It is probably written under the balance.

Very nice! The anglage of this caliber looks good and seems better than on other pieces.

·Great thread! I am impressed by the quality of the watches showed here. Thank you also for the interesting informations!
I like all the innovations Omega tried and made during that period, in particular concerning the time setting system.
My very modest contribution: an early cal 19. I have to try to polish again the original « biseauté » glass.

·Hello all & Happy Holidays 😀
I recently picked up this Omega pocket watch but don't know anything about it so I was hoping someone could shed some light on it.
I have several Illinois and Hamiltons which I have no issue finding information on but I don't know where to start with this one.
The movement seems to measure around 45mm (that's measuring from the ring just outside the movement)
Anyway, thank you in advance for any info.

·My one Omega pocket watch is pretty plain compared to many of the ones displayed here. I have had it for 5 years and had it serviced immediately after I purchased it. It probably dates somewhere around 1920 according on the serial number. Based on the service marks and caseback dents, I would say it was well used. You don't see that many swan-neck regulators, which is what attracted me to it.
