This is a scarce 1900’s Omega pocket watch with a chrome-plated metal base. The movement is a 1617 model, serial #5721192, a 3/4 plate with 17 jewels. The watch is a 12 size (45mm in diameter). The dial is an attractive porcelain with only a few hairlines. There are no chips or major cracks. The back of the case is engraved with a shield motif that is a great place for a monogrammed initial. There is a single, pin size dent in the back of the case near this shield. I have a picture of it in the slides. This is NOT the original case. The set screws are missing for the case, so it rattles a small amount. There is some light wear on the high points of the case, but not enough to see the base metal underneath. This watch is in excellent, restorable condition. It would need to be serviced/cleaned to get it running perfect. These issues are something that can be fixed, however we cannot offer those types of services. This mechanical, 86-year-old watch winds and runs, keeping accurate time over the 24 hours I timed it. It needs a proper servicing to keep its integrity. It is a stem-set watch. To set the time, you must gently pull the stem out of its set position and rotate clockwise to set the desired time. Once the time is set, press the stem back into position.
