Omega - 1900-1949

Overview
This is an attractive Omega Swiss mechanical pocket watch, dating approximately to the 1920s based on the case number and overall style.

The 0.800 silver case features fine engine-turned decoration with an ornate shield-shaped cartouche, while the inner covers display Omega markings, serial numbers and historical medal-style branding.
The strongest features of this watch are the Omega name, the 0.800 silver case, the attractive white enamel dial and the highly decorative gilt hands combined with a period Omega mechanical movement.
