The movement serial number 8779604 places this watch in the early 1940s, probably around 1943. This was an important period for Omega, when the brand was producing robust and reliable hand-wound movements that helped establish its reputation for precision and durability.

The watch is fitted with a hand-wound Omega 15-jewel movement. The movement is visually attractive, with clean bridges, visible ruby jewels and traditional Swiss finishing. It is currently running.

One of the most attractive features of this watch is the dial and hand design. The cream dial has aged with a natural vintage patina, giving the watch a strong antique character. The Arabic numerals, outer minute track and small seconds sub-dial create a very classical pocket-watch appearance. The blue hands remain a beautiful detail and give the watch a refined vintage look.

The case is marked “ACIER STAYBRITE”, a stainless-steel type case material used on vintage Swiss watches of this period. The case has a clean rounded form, polished bezel and simple pocket-watch profile. The case measures approximately 47.0 mm excluding the crown and bow, with a thickness of approximately 10.2 mm. The total weight is approximately 58.4 g.

The crystal material has not been confirmed, so it is described simply as the crystal.

A pocket watch chain is included. The chain is approximately 30 cm long. It is not confirmed to be original to the watch.
