Omega - B070880 - 1900-1949

Overview
This is a very appealing antique Omega mechanical pocket watch with the refined and balanced character typical of early Swiss watchmaking. The clean white dial is open and elegant, with bold black Arabic numerals, subsidiary seconds at 6 o’clock, and a pair of finely pierced hands that give the watch strong period charm. The silver-tone case has an attractive engine-turned back with a central vacant round cartouche, while the inner cover retains the Omega mark and the 0.800 silver mark. The dust cover keeps the Omega Grand Prix Paris 1900 decoration, and the accompanying old pocket watch chain adds further collector and display appeal. The strongest attraction lies in the combination of the Omega name, the classic clean dial, the marked silver case, and the old matching chain.
