About This Watch

This is an antique Omega pocket watch in a 51mm original metal case. It is a gentleman’s size pocket watch and represents a very early example of Omega production.

A particularly important feature is the early Omega logo on the balance bridge. This type of marking is associated with the early period of Omega pocket watch production and makes the watch especially interesting for collectors of early Omega pieces.

The watch retains its original metal case. The case has only a serial number and no other inscriptions or external maker’s markings. There is visible age-related dirt, oxidation and some rust to the outer case, consistent with the age and condition of the watch.

Condition Notes

The barrel mainspring appears to be broken. The watch winds a little and runs for a short time, but this is for testing only. It does not continue running properly because of the broken spring.

This watch is sold as a restoration project or collectible early Omega example. A full service and repair will be required.

Collector Interest

Early Omega pocket watches are important pieces in the history of Swiss watchmaking. Before Omega became internationally known for wristwatches, the company built much of its reputation through high-quality pocket watches and precision movements.

This example is particularly appealing because of its early Omega movement marking, original case, large 51mm gents size, and collectible restoration potential.
