Omega - 1900-1949

Overview
This is a vintage OMEGA mechanical pocket watch with strong 1920s character. The white dial features highly distinctive stylised Arabic numerals, a subsidiary seconds register at 6 o’clock and elegant gilt-tone hands.

Inside is an OMEGA-signed mechanical movement displaying the traditional construction associated with early Swiss pocket watches.
