Pocket Watch : Antique Omega Silver Full Hunter Pocket Watch

The watch has a Swiss stem-winding movement, confirmed as by Omega, which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner cover which is signed with the Omega name, and has details of medals won including the ‘Grand Prix’ at the Paris exposition of 1900. The watch measures 52.5mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is 800 silver and there are Swiss hallmarks inside all three covers, together with the Omega marks. The case is in lovely condition with engine turned detail to both the front and back, and a vacant cartouche to the front. Originally there would have been a rose gold wash around the edge of the front and back but this has rubbed with age. This style of case is known as galonne. The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover. Inside, there is a glass lens which is in good condition. The signed dial has a hairline crack running from 2 to 4 but otherwise is in lovely condition. The watch comes in a vintage presentation box.
