Founded in 1848 in Switzerland, Omega has become one of the world's best-known watch brands. Omega produced high-quality wristwatches during the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. Renowned for its precision and craftsmanship, Omega also created exquisite pocket watches in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, enhancing its reputation as a premier watchmaker.
This Omega timepiece was manufactured in Switzerland and completed in 1909. It was made specifically for the American market and features a rare American-style setting mechanism—one of the few Swiss movements we can actually convert. The watch is powered by a 15-jewel in-house Omega movement, a robust caliber the brand produced at the time. The movement includes beautifully decorated ratchet and crown wheels, along with a regulator on the balance. Every component has been meticulously refinished, with blue accents on the screws and hardware achieved through precise open-flame thermal coloring using traditional watchmaking techniques (read more here). The hands were not restored and remain in their original heat-plum condition applied by Omega at the time of manufacture. The gear train, balance, and balance weights were individually hand-polished to restore their original golden luster. The metal Omega dial features an elegant guilloché center surrounded by bold Arabic numerals and a finely printed minute track with prominent five-minute markers. The American influence on the dial's design is unmistakable. Original heat-plum hands provide exceptional contrast against the textured surface, completing a display that is both highly legible and visually striking.
The watch is housed in our Heritage Bronze conversion case, designed for collectors who appreciate a case that evolves over time. Machined from solid bronze, the case starts with warm golden tones but develops a rich patina as it ages, creating a surface unique to the wearer. From the coined-finish bezel to the lugs, screws, and crown, nearly every surface will take on its own patina, ensuring no two cases ever age the same. The case is designed with adjustable lugs for easy winding and setting, while ensuring a comfortable fit across various wrist sizes. The case includes front, back, and crown gaskets for water resistance up to 50 meters; however, we recommend removing the watch before engaging in water activities. The timepiece comes fully serviced and ready for your next adventure.
