Omega - gunmetal - 1900-1949

Omega vintage pocket watch, dating from the era, with a classic white enamel dial (or porcelain) and black Arabic numerals. It features the peculiarity of double numbering: the main 1-12 and an outer red scale 13-24 (typical for civilian or military use of the era to ease afternoon reading).
​​Dial: At 6 o'clock lies the small seconds subdial.
​​Hands: The 'poire' hands in blued steel are a classy touch typical of the period.
​​Case: Brushed-metal case (probably treated iron or steel) or 'Gunmetal'. This dark finish was very common for watches intended for everyday or military use because it is less reflective and more durable.
​​Conditions: The dial shows some 'feline' (fine cracks in the enamel) between 10 and 12 o'clock and at 4 o'clock. The case shows a noticeable patina and signs of age, which, however, confer authenticity to the piece.
