WWII Era Antique Omikron Pocket Watch Art-Deco 18k Rolled Gold Case Black Dial

WWII Era Antique Omikron Pocket Watch Art-Deco 18k Rolled Gold Case Black Dial. High grade movement 16 jewels. Omikron history: The Omikron watch company’s history started from the key-wound pocket watch made by a famous watchmaker-master Gustave Homberger. It was his first watch. In 1898 he created the 19-line movement that was the result of a new assembly system based on the interchange ability of standardized parts. This pocket watch based on the new caliber featured exceptional precision and durability. The innovative technology was named “Omikron”, the letter of the Greek alphabet, synonymous with achievement, excellence and perfection. For some time the company got the same name. During Gustave’s life the company produced pocket watches especially for railway offices to order. After his death, his sons, Stephane and Georges, adapted their father’s technology to make military watches of which high precision, regular run and exceptional durability were demanded much, because a soldier’s life depended on these features. After the First World War Omikon watches attracted the attention of leading military officials. The company started collaborating with military offices and focused on producing military Omikronwatches. Between the two World Wars, the time of the beginning of the modern watch art, the company got down to mass production. Just that time wristwatches started to supplant pocket ones. Wristwatches were necessary as pocket ones usually fell out of pockets, and trench coats had no place for them to keep. Military men attached the second ring to the case of a pocket watch. Through the ring they passed a string to wear a watch on the wrist. A do-it-himself timepieces turned out to be more durable than pocket ones. Watch companies quickly caught this modern trend. Omikron began making wristwatches for pilots and divers and was a supplier for air forces and naval forces of many European countries. Later the company’s activity was stopped but the history still remained: today Omikron watches are being made by Leschot S. The company has already created 11 collections: Dauntless, Corsair, Privateer, Excalibur, Excalibur Gold, Marauder, Constellation, Ventura, Sentinel, Nighthawk and Corsair II. Omikron watches are equipped with automatic Swiss-made movements Leschot LM-196 based on 21 stones. Cases are made of stainless steel, dials are covered with mineral crystal, straps are of genuine leather. Military watches have not only stylistic features of prototypes of military models but also technical features. Models have luminescent hands to read time easy in the dark, because the time precision is a necessary requirement for military watches. Some models have antimagnetic cases that aviation watches mainly have. Thanks to such cases active magnetic fields, made by navigation equipment of a plane, do not influence on a movement operation. Model are water-resistant 30 to 50 metres. Massive cases and minimalistic finishing of dials are an Omikron distinctive feature. All watch collections of the company are named in honor of the best bomber pilots of the Second World War to remind of heroic feats of these military pilots.

WWII Elgin Railroad B. W. Raymond 16S 21J Jewel Pocket Watch Custom Navy Case

WWII Elgin Railroad Grade 478 B. Raymond 16S 21J Jewel Pocket Watch with a Custom Navy Case. This a very unique U. Navy presentation pocket watch. This watch had to be special as Elgin was supplying watches to government contracts for the war effort. I have not seen one before like it and probably never will. It looks like it was put away and not used much. It is in excellent original condition for the age. Just light normal wear. Silveroid and Gold Filled. It has a raised Navy Fouled Anchor on the back case cover. Covers screw on nicely. The back cover does stick sometimes at the very end of opening it and you have to give it a little lift with your finger nail. It may have a small bur on the thread. The dial has a couple faint hairlines. The close up photos and lighting gave them a blue tint but you can hardly see them with the eye. The crystal has light surface scratches. It is running strong and keeping good time. I do not know the service history so I can’t guarantee to continued accuracy. I would have this special watch serviced as a baseline. Please look look at the pictures as part of the description. I have included the specifications in the photos. I try to give accurate description of all my items for sale.

Engraved On The Movement G C T. With hack function working! Included is the Rare Metal Aircraft watch case with glass view lens as pictured!!!! WWII Air Mans Pocket Watch History. During World War II, Hamilton & Elgin produced a variety of time pieces to support the war effort. In fact, all of Hamilton’s & Elgin’s production was dedicated to defense purposes. However, they did still produce some wrist watches using excess movements produced in the 1920′s. One of the war-related watches was a pocket watch with a central sweep second hand. The movement was based on the 21 jewel, 16 size 992B for Hamilton & B. Raymond movement for Elgin. However, an extra jewel was added to support the second hand pinion, so the movement got 22 jewels. Known as a “Navigator’s Watch” as it was used by aviators to aid in navigation by the US Navy during the war. You’ll often see these in a case or a box that was intended to isolate it and protect it from shocks or accidental damage. If you look closely at the dial, you’ll see that it’s a 24 hour dial so it takes a full day for the hour hand to make a full rotation. 12:00 noon on a 24 hour dial looks like 6:00 on a 12-hour dial. The minute hand still makes it around the dial in one hour, so the ratio of the minute hand to the hour hand is modified using a different minute wheel and hour wheel ratio. Another interesting aspect to the Air Mans watch it “hacks” or stops when you pull out the crown to set the time. This allows you to set a very precise time… The old, “synchronize your watches” phrase comes to mind.
