Omega - 4972241 - 1900-1949

Overview
This is a fine early Omega Swiss mechanical pocket watch, dating approximately to the 1910s based on its overall construction, movement number and period style. The white enamel-style dial features elegant black Arabic numerals, a subsidiary seconds dial at 6 o’clock and beautifully shaped decorative openwork hands, giving the watch a refined early-20th-century appearance.
Its appeal extends well beyond the Omega name. The watch combines a 0.800 silver case, finely engine-turned back, signed Omega movement and an inner dust cover decorated with medal motifs and the inscription “Grand Prix Paris 1900.”
The key highlight is the combination of an early signed Omega movement, 0.800 silver case and historically distinctive Grand Prix Paris 1900 decoration.
