Omega - 10125995 - 1900-1949

Lot Description
Up for auction is a remarkably well-preserved, authentic Swiss mechanical pocket watch by the legendary manufacturer Omega. Based on the movement's serial number (9254951), this timepiece can be precisely dated to circa 1939–1940, making it a highly desirable piece from the late Art Deco / early WWII era.
This specific model stands out with its gorgeous white enamel dial featuring crisp black Arabic numerals and a special outer 24-hour track (13 to 24) – a layout traditionally favored for military, navigation, or railway operations. The elegant golden Breguet-style hands and the sunken sub-second register at 6 o'clock add to its timeless vintage aesthetic.
The watch features a classic collector's size with a case diameter of 48 mm. It comes paired with a highly unique, decorative double-strand chain adorned with red and black beads and a traditional Ottoman Tughra charm/monogram pendant. This suggests the watch was originally exported to or cherished within the Eastern/Ottoman market, adding an extra layer of historical charm and provenance.
