OMEGA Open Face Pocket Watch

Partially verified

This is an 18ct yellow gold open face pocket watch produced by OMEGA in 1928. The watch features a mother-of-pearl dial adorned with Breguet-style Arabic numerals and matching gold hands. It includes a sub-seconds dial positioned at the 6 o'clock mark. The timepiece is driven by a hand-wound mechanical movement identified as calibre 39.5 L.T1. The watch is housed in an 18ct yellow gold case, described in the source documentation with an ambiguous measurement of 45m. The watch is identified by inventory number 03515. The provided source lists the year of manufacture as 1928 and the origin as Switzerland. The watch is catalogued by the seller without internal movement or case-back photographs, and the current condition of the movement and the nature of the dial material remain unverified by independent examination.

The pocket watch features a mother-of-pearl dial, which provides a reflective surface. The hours are marked with applied Breguet-style Arabic numerals. A printed minute track is positioned around the outer periphery of the dial.

The timepiece employs gold-toned hands in a Breguet style. A sub-seconds dial is integrated at the 6 o'clock position, featuring its own dedicated minute track and an associated small seconds hand.
