Antique 1916 Swiss Made Pocket Watch - Calibre 19 Ligne - 18k Yellow Gold
€2,845.00
Freshly serviced and working perfectly: an antique Swiss Made Omega pocket watch. This piece dates back to 1916 based on the movement serial number, and boasts a solid 18k Yellow Gold case which measures 48.5mm in diameter. The watch face features a white enamel dial with black Arabic numerals and rose gold tone Louis XVI style hands. A sub dial at the 6 O'Clock position counts down the seconds. Considering its age and fragility, the dial is in great condition. No chips or cracks can be found, and all lettering is still sharp and clear.
Inside we find a legendary Swiss Made Omega 19''' movement, which is basically the foundation on which the Omega brand was built. Introduced in 1894 by the company "Louis Brandt & Frère" and dubbed the Omega 19''', this movement would later give its name to the Omega company as a whole in 1903 when Louis Brandt was renamed. A high quality movement with features such as a Breguet overcoil hairspring and a bi-metallic balance wheel with expansion cuts to help compensate for temperature changes.
The pocket watch was lovingly restored with eye for authenticity. Its movement was completely disassembled, cleaned and lubricated, and is now working perfectly for years to come. A brand new and correct "Double Brace & Hole End" mainspring was installed to replace the very tired blue steel mainspring. The case was thoroughly cleaned, but left unpolished to maintain its patina and originality. The hinged case back is fairly thin and has a number of minor dents, as is usually the case. It depicts an ornate emblem or shield on which one would usually find an engraved monogram, but in this case the room for said engraving is still blank. The metal dust cover underneath the case back is decorated with the Omega brand as well as a number of medals, the most recent one dating back to 1914. A brand new plexiglass crystal was fitted. In all, a very well preserved and fully functional piece of Omega history.
