Omega - 5982952 - 1900-1949

Overview

This is a highly distinctive early Omega mechanical pocket watch, with its most striking feature being the bold red numeral 12 set against a white enamel dial. Surrounded by black Arabic numerals, the red 12 creates an immediate visual focal point and gives the dial much more character than a standard monochrome layout. A subsidiary seconds dial at 6 o’clock and elegant gold-tone openworked hands complete the traditional design.

The 0.800 silver case and Omega medal-decorated dust cover add further historical and collectible appeal.

The standout feature of this watch is its highly attractive red 12 enamel dial.
