Omega – 18-karat Yellow Gold Pocket Watch – Art Deco Period

OMEGA – 18-karat yellow gold pocket watch – Art Deco dial – Mechanical movement with jewels

An elegant pocket watch from the prestigious Swiss watchmaker OMEGA, featuring an 18-karat yellow gold (750/1000) case with two gold flaps and a remarkable Art Deco-style dial.

Switzerland, first half of the 20th century, likely around 1920–1930.

Description

This watch stands out for its particularly refined dial, combining a silver-toned surface with large black Arabic numerals, characteristic of the Art Deco aesthetic.

The central section features a geometric composition alternating finely crafted vertical gold and silver bands, creating an elegant contrast of materials and colors.

Stylized gold hands and a small seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock, adorned with a gold center bearing the OMEGA signature.

The yellow gold case features a finely guilloché back with oblique fluting, framed by a gadrooned border. The winding crown and lugs are also richly crafted, featuring a stylized foliage motif.

Hand-wound mechanical movement, signed OMEGA, equipped with an anchor escapement and several jewels, visible on the mainplate. These rubies, used as pivot stones, contribute to the mechanism’s precision and longevity by reducing friction.

The movement features a beautiful finish, with visible gear train, regulating screws, and a rack-and-pinion mechanism for adjusting the rate.

Case bearing hallmarks and serial numbers. Dial and movement signed OMEGA.
