Omega - 5418796 - 1900-1949

Overview
This is a very appealing early Omega mechanical pocket watch with a refined and distinctly period character. The white dial is enhanced by black Arabic numerals and a striking inner red 13 to 24 hour scale, giving the watch a layered and highly recognisable appearance. The subsidiary seconds at 6 o’clock and the ornate hands add further vintage charm, while the silver case and signed inner cover reinforce its classic Omega identity. Accompanied by an old pocket watch chain and an old retailer’s box, the overall presentation is complete and very display friendly. The strongest appeal of this piece lies in its Omega name, the red 24 hour dual-scale dial, the 0.800 silver case, and the attractive complete set with chain and old box.
