OMEGA 900 Silver Niello Art Nouveau 51mm Hunting Case Pocket Watch ca. This antique Omega is beautifully detailed. The silver case measures approximately 51mm in diameter x 2 3/4 inches long including bow. The 900 silver case has an art nouveau inlay of niello enamel and rose gold. There are flowers, scroll work leaves and a plaque on each side. One plaque is not engraved which makes it perfect for personalizing. The niello does have chipping throughout, which is not surprising given the 100+ year old age of the piece and the delicate nature of niello enamel. The case also has a very light dent on the front cover and natural patina throughout the silver, as pictured. The hinges all open properly, but the back cover will not snap shut. The inside front cover is stamped “3134″. The white enamel dial has black Arabic numerals, a black five minute track, blue spade hands, a single sunk seconds register at six and is marked “Omega”. The dial has a hairline from the center up to twelve but is in otherwise excellent condition. The acrylic crystal is in good condition. The inside back cover is stamped “5093134″. The dust cover is stamped “Omega – Grand Prix – Paris 1900″. The inside dust cover is stamped “Bear – 0.900 – 5093134 – U”. The movement is stamped “Omega – 4128936″. All screws and jewels, including a diamond end stone, are in good condition. Stem wind and set. This watch is running approximately 10 minutes fast per 24 hours. No guarantee of future performance. 87.6 grams total weight. This antique Omega is in overall good condition and with a little work could be a show stopping collectible. Due to age there is no guarantee of time accuracy on antique/vintage watches. The watch is running within 1-2 minutes per 24 hours, unless otherwise specified.
