It features highly legible black painted Breguet numerals paired with a contrasting red 13-24 hour inner track that adds a touch of military or railway style. A crisp sub-seconds register is positioned at six o'clock. The spade-style hour and minute hands display visible oxidation and natural age-related patina, contrasting well against the bright enamel, while a dark hand sweeps the sub-seconds dial. Case and Crystal The silver-tone pocket watch case features a smooth, rounded profile with an integrated bezel. It shows honest vintage wear, including light surface scratches and minor tarnish consistent with age, but remains free of major dents. The classic onion-style crown is unsigned, which is consistent with the era. A clear, domed crystal protects the dial and presents no significant scratches or chips. Movement Inside is a manual wind Omega pocket watch caliber featuring a frosted gilt finish on the plates and bridges. The movement displays a very clean appearance with minimal signs of tool marks or corrosion, bearing crisp engravings for Omega, 15 jewels, and the matching serial number 12485653.

Condition Excellent vintage condition. The white enamel dial is remarkably preserved without visible flaws, while the silver-tone case shows honest, age-appropriate light scratches and minor tarnish without major dents.

Dimensions 48mm (excluding the crown) Remarks This Omega pocket watch is notable for its exceptionally clean white enamel dial and classic Breguet numerals. The addition of the red 24-hour inner track and the well-preserved 15-jewel movement make it a highly attractive example of mid-century Omega craftsmanship. History Omega has a long and respected tradition of producing precise and reliable pocket watches, which served as the foundation of the brand's global reputation before the widespread adoption of the wristwatch. During the mid-20th century, these timepieces were still heavily relied upon by professionals, railway workers, and those who preferred the classic elegance of a pocket watch. The inclusion of a 24-hour inner track often catered to military or transportation needs, offering quick military-time reference. This circa 1950 example reflects Omega's commitment to clean, functional design and robust mechanical performance during this transitional era in horology. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-OXX-0018
