Magnificent Solid Silver Omega Pocket Watch. Year 1920, in Perfect Working Order
Elegant Omega pocket watch, manufactured in Switzerland in 1920. This watch is crafted from solid silver with gold-plated accents, making it a piece of great beauty as well as a fully functional timepiece. The watch functions perfectly and has been serviced and adjusted; it is also in good condition. The case is hallmarked and signed, attesting to the quality and authenticity of this magnificent piece. The watch has no front cover, directly revealing the beautiful white dial with black Arabic numerals, a seconds hand, and delicate hands crafted in copper-colored filigree. The name OMEGA is printed on the dial in the elegant cursive capital letters found on many of the brand's models.
The name Omega is a symbol of Swiss precision when it comes to watchmaking. The brand's history began when Louis Brandt opened a small watch distribution business in La Chaux-de-Fonds (Switzerland) in 1848. Since then, and throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, Omega watches have been present during major moments in human history: for example, they were the watches chosen by NASA to be worn by the first men to set foot on the moon. Today, the Omega brand belongs to the Swatch Group. This particular watch is undoubtedly a beautiful design from the brand, with the case back engraved with the classic mesh pattern and a blank central shield, intended to hold the owner's initials.
If we lift the case back, inside we'll find the OMEGA logo and name engraved, along with some accent markings and the serial number 1450781. The same elements are also engraved on the inside of the dust cover. Beneath this cover, the delicate mechanism is displayed in all its precision, retaining all original parts and some delicate details engraved into the metal. Finally, on the pendant connecting the ring and the crown to the case, we can see another hallmark that guarantees the quality and origin of the silver from which this beautiful watch is crafted.
This Omega pocket watch is a true classic, perfect for complementing the attire of an elegant gentleman or for adding to a fine collection of antique watches.
