Omega - 1900-1949

Overview
This is a mechanical stopwatch-style pocket watch by Omega, showing the functional and period character of an antique sports timing instrument. The dial features large black timing numerals, a 30-minute register at the top, and a striking blued central seconds hand, giving the watch a clear and professional stopwatch appearance. The back cover carries a personal engraving, while the movement is marked Omega and Seventeen Jewels, adding strong brand recognition and mechanical appeal.
The most notable highlight of this watch is the combination of the Omega name, central timing seconds hand, 30-minute register, and visible 17-jewel Omega mechanical movement.
