dear friend, you must send photos of hallmarks and close-ups of the watch both inside and out.

If you can find the serial number on the movement, we can give you a pretty good estimate of the year of production. As for the bracelet and necklace, I have no idea who made them, or if the watch is original to the set. The watch appears to have normal lugs, and the bracelet seems to be attached between the lugs in a conventional way.

Unfortunately someone has obliterated the serial number(s). However we can deduce the silver colored (as opposed to the later copper colored) caliber 244 movement likely dates to the early 1950s.

R13.5 noted above renamed 244.

My guess is whoever made the bracelet and necklace is the one who removed the serial number(s).

thank you friends, your comments noted, so we understand the OT 2406 was Omega manufactured back in 1946, but how can I find out who was the jeweller designer that composed the 18 kt. parure ??

Maybe you could ask on a jewelry forum? Unless there is a maker's mark, you are going to need to find a jewelry expert who recognizes the style.

Not this one.

As I noted above your watch contains the caliber 244 movement which superseded the R13.5 ca 1949/50. So your watch can be no older than this, which is why I estimated the early 1950s.

The 1946 date represents the introduction of the caliber 13,5 movement. This movement and its successor, the caliber 244 were produced for several years after 1946.

If the bracelet was made in Switzerland or the UK, there may be a hallmark that can help identify the maker. If made outside of those two countries (which I think is very likely), it may be impossible to trace the maker.

As the movement serial number and case s/n have been removed. Most likely a stolen watch.

Any goldsmith could have made the bracelet. It could be a standard bracelet adapted to fit the watch
