Omega - 121.1726 - 1970-1979

Overview

This is a distinctive Omega Genève mechanical pocket watch, dating approximately from 1969–1970. The clean white dial features elegant black Arabic numerals, slim black hands and a subsidiary seconds dial at 6 o’clock, creating a highly traditional and well-balanced Omega pocket-watch appearance. Of particular interest is the relatively uncommon Omega Cal. 830 manual-winding movement, finished in Omega’s characteristic rose-copper tone and fitted with 17 jewels. The warm movement finish provides an attractive contrast to the restrained white dial.
The most notable highlight is the Omega Cal. 830 rose-copper-toned 17-jewel movement.
