Vintage Mens Wristwatch Classic Men's Wrist Watch Omega Movement Swiss

One could argue that the word “RARE” gets tossed around a bit too easily but I think this is one case where the moniker is well deserved for this vintage example. This men’s CUSTOMIZED WATCH has ORIGINAL porcelain DIAL, ORIGINAL converted CASE and CLEAN HIGH GRADE original pocket watch MECHANISM with BLUE STEEL SCREWS, CHATON of REGULATION SCREWS in RED GOLD, BI-METALLIC MICROMETER REGULATOR & BLUE BREGUET BALANCE SPRING.

This timepiece features an elegant, white, sunken ORIGINAL PORCELAIN dial is in flawless condition, absolutely no hairlines or chips. This dial features a 60 minute outer track border, main black Arabic numbering, gold steel Louis XVI filigree hands and a recessed sunken sub-seconds dial with 60 second outer chapter and “sweep” gold steel seconds hand. Signed OMEGA in black enameled lettering below the 12 with trademark Omega symbol above this. 

This model features an ORIGINAL four piece, double-hinged chrome steel case that provides for a useful dust cover over the movement. The case was made especially for OMEGA. Turning the watch over I note that the back lid is nice and clean. This watch was converted from pocket watch. The lugs are in great condition while the winding crown is in very good shape and operates properly. The inside of the outer case lid is stamped OMEGA with trademark Omega symbol with case referent number #5,348,791. This case reference number repeat inside on the inner case lid. 

Lifting this lid reveals an inner dust cover lid, also chrome steel. 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 six medals with exquisite miniature detailing in the center and is signed OMEGA –GRANDS PRIX – PARIS 1900. 

Peeking inside I find is a clean manual wind and higher-grade gold plated lever escapement movement with BLUE STEEL SCREWS, CHATON of REGULATION SCREWS in RED GOLD, BI-METALLIC MICROMETER REGULATOR & BLUE BREGUET BALANCE SPRING. The movement is signed OMEGA with the movement serial number #4,424,037. This serial number dates this watch to 1913 as per published production numbers. 

This beautiful wristwatch has the ORIGINAL OMEGA movement in an excellent status which was very well saved, considering age of this watch, but some of the wearable parts on the movement might be replaced, and custom made to fit, since it is close to impossible to find original parts. Mechanism has been recently serviced to ensure it winds and sets smoothly while keeping great, accurate time. 

It is fitted on a new 22mm black alligator style genuine leather strap with chrome steel buckle that is vintage style and goes great with this vintage watch.

This rare watch winds and set smoothly while keeping very good, accurate time.

Because of the vintage nature of the watch I cannot guarantee its absolute time keeping accuracy even if they are in good running condition and in some rare occasions may require additional adjustment.
