Omega - 121.1740 - 1950-1959

Overview
This Omega Genève pocket watch has a very clean and refined appearance, with a restrained design that is both elegant and highly usable. The white dial, black Arabic numerals, subsidiary seconds at 6 o’clock, and outer 24 hour scale create a balanced and highly legible layout. The real appeal lies in the combination of a signed Omega Genève dial, an Omega cal. 960 movement, 17 jewels, and the presence of both a fitted box and chain, making this a very attractive complete set.
