Omega - Classics Art Deco - Cal. 26.5 S.O.B - Men - 1928

Omega Art Deco Cushion Watch – Cal. 26.5 SOB – 15 Jewels – Porcelain Dial – Circa 1928–1930 A distinctive pre-war Omega wristwatch from the late 1920s / early 1930s, powered by the respected Omega Calibre 26.5 SOB, 15 jewels. The watch features an elegant Art Deco cushion-shaped case and a particularly attractive porcelain dial with large Arabic numerals, a subsidiary seconds register at 6 o’clock and a rare red 24-hour outer track. This unusual dial configuration gives the watch a strong character and makes it an interesting addition to a collection of early Omega timepieces. Technical Details Brand: Omega Period: Circa 1928–1930 Movement: Omega Cal. 26.5 SOB Jewels: 15 Adjustment: 2 positions Movement serial: Approx. 6,960,500 Case serial: 8,027,576 Case: Cushion / tonneau-shaped, chrome plated Dial: Porcelain / enamel, Arabic numerals, red 24-hour track Winding: Manual Seconds: Subsidiary seconds at 6 Crystal: Acrylic Strap: Modern black woven strap Measurements: 29 mm case width excluding crown × 37 mm lug-to-lug × approx. 10 mm thickness. Condition Honest original vintage condition with authentic signs of age. The porcelain dial displays attractive natural ageing, including hairline cracks, surface marks and small chips / losses, particularly around the edges. These imperfections are clearly visible in the photographs and are part of the watch's nearly century-old history. The chrome-plated case shows considerable age-related wear, including areas of plating loss and oxidation. No polishing, replating or cosmetic restoration has been performed. The hands appear period-appropriate; however, their originality to this specific watch cannot be confirmed with certainty. The movement is currently running and functioning. Please study all photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the description. Vintage mechanical watches may have timekeeping variations of approximately 1–2 minutes per day, depending on position, environment and usage conditions. The watch will be checked before shipment. No water resistance test was performed, so no water-resistance guarantee is given. No Box / No Papers Delivery: 5–7 days Europe / 7–10 days other countries. The buyer is responsible for import VAT and taxes if applicable.
