Omega Antique Silver Pocket Watch – 0.800 Silver – 24-Hour Dial – Case No. 8.933.084 – Circa Late 1930s
Restoration project!

An attractive and less common antique Omega pocket watch in a genuine 0.800 silver case, featuring a striking 24-hour dial. This vintage Omega mechanical pocket watch combines classic Swiss watchmaking with an unusual dial design, giving it considerably more character than a standard early 20th-century pocket watch.

The watch has a signed OMEGA dial with large stylized Arabic numerals, a small seconds hand at 6 o’clock, and an additional outer scale from 13–24 hours. This 24-hour configuration is an appealing feature for collectors of antique Omega watches, vintage military watches, railway-style pocket watches, and unusual Swiss mechanical watches.

The inside of the case is clearly marked “0.800,” meaning 800/1000 silver, or 80% silver content. The case also bears the Omega triangular factory mark with “OMEGA” and “FAB. SUISSE,” supporting the originality of the silver Omega case. Case number 8.933.084 is stamped inside and appears consistently on the case components. The serial number falls within a production range roughly associated with the late 1930s, around 1938–1939, although the movement serial number would be needed for a more precise dating. The case serial number should therefore be regarded as an approximate dating reference, not conclusive proof of the exact year of production. The 24-hour dial is one of the most interesting aspects of this watch. In addition to the standard 1–12-hour display, the outer scale continues from 13 to 24, allowing the time to be read in 24-hour format. This type of military- or railway-style dial is less common than the standard Omega pocket watch dial and gives the watch particular appeal to collectors. The dial has developed a considerable, authentic age patina. Scratches, stains, discoloration, spotting, and general wear are visible across the dial. The hands also show oxidation and age-related wear. The silver case has scratches, tarnish, oxidation, small spots, and general signs of use consistent with a pocket watch that is several decades old. No attempt has been made to hide or heavily restore these signs of age. The watch retains the worn, characterful appearance you would expect from an original vintage Omega silver pocket watch. The combination of a genuine Omega-marked 0.800 silver case, Omega-signed dial, sub-seconds, and unusual 24-hour scale makes this a more distinctive example than a typical unsigned Swiss pocket watch. It should appeal to collectors of vintage Omega watches, antique silver pocket watches, Swiss mechanical watches, 24-hour pocket watches, and military-style watches.
