OMEGA Silver Hunting Cased Pocket Watch with Chain

Partially verified

This OMEGA silver hunting cased pocket watch is a stem-winding timepiece measuring 48 mm in diameter. The dial features black Roman numerals, gold spade pointers, and a sub-seconds dial at the six o'clock position. The case is finished with an engine-turned pattern on both sides, incorporating an open frame intended for initials. The movement is signed Omega and is protected by an inner hinged dust cover, which is engraved with details regarding medals awarded at the 1900 Paris Grand Prix. Included with the watch is a hallmarked silver chain and a matching silver fob, which contains an area for engraving. The set is accompanied by an original presentation box from Pearce & Son of Leicester. The auction description reports the watch is in fine running condition, despite some unevenness to the exterior of the silver case.

Object description

Case and Dial

The silver hunting case measures 48 mm in diameter, excluding the winding crown. The exterior surfaces feature an engine-turned decorative pattern, interrupted by a central, smooth, open-frame cartouche designed for the personalization of initials. The auction description reports some unevenness in the case structure but characterizes it as a good silver case.

The dial is white and signed with the Omega name. It is styled with black printed Roman numerals and gold-tone spade hands. A subsidiary seconds register is positioned at the bottom of the dial, aligned with the six o'clock marker. The auction description reports that the dial is in excellent condition.
