Omega. Old and cool..

I have seen this online for sale, I think it looks great - 48mm case. I think its been made from a pocket watch.









This timepiece features an elegant dial is in good condition. This dial features a 60 minute outer track borders with 24 hour red Arabic numerals and inner track borders with black enameled main Arabic numbering with the red 12, steel Spade-style hands and a recessed sub-seconds dial with 60 second outer chapter and “sweep” gold steel seconds hand. The new dial has been professionally updated, and now is in excellent condition.
Signed OMEGA in white enameled lettering below the red 12 with trademark Omega symbol above this.



This model features an ORIGINAL four piece, double-hinged nickel case. This watch was converted from pocket watch. The case was made especially for OMEGA. Turning the watch over I note that the engraved back lid is nice and clean. The lugs are in great condition while the original winding crown is in very good shape and operates properly. The inside of the outer case lid is signed OMEGA with trademark Omega symbol and case reference number #5,712,434.

Lifting this lid reveals an inner dust cover lid, also nickel. This was used to protect the mechanism from dust and debris and to provide an extra layer of protection from shock or moisture. What’s nice about this particular dust cover is how it’s decorated, complete with engraved twelve medals with exquisite miniature detailing in the center and signed OMEGA. The inside of the inner case lid is signed case reference number #5,712,434.

Inside is a clean manual wind and higher-grade gold plated lever escapement movement with CHATON of REGULATION SCREWS in RED GOLD, BI-METALLIC MICROMETER REGULATOR & BLUE BREGUET BALANCE SPRING that is signed OMEGA – 4,914,880. This serial number dates this watch to 1915 as per published production numbers.

This beautiful wristwatch has the ORIGINAL movement in an excellent status which was very well saved, considering age of this watch.

It comes complete with a new 22mm black TiTo alligator calf high quality strap genuine leather with matching chrome steel buckle for a most excellent look.


Diameter (with crown): 51.00 mm
Diameter (without crown): 48.00 mm
Watch crystal diameter: 41.00 mm
Thickness: 13.00 mm


I know the dial is not original, but I think it looks fantastic. What do you guys think?

I think it is really nice, but 48mm is quite large. I almost would have preferred it left as a pocket watch at that size.

I think it is what I would call a fake watch and franken at the very most

Can't say I approve of these creations.

+1, looks like it came out of Ukraine or something. I would have preferred it as a pocket watch instead.

I do like the looks of it, but in the end I decided against it.
