Omega Pocket Watch Movement Custom Watch Hexagon Case

Introduction

The Omega pocket watch movement described here is a unique timepiece that has undergone a remarkable transformation. Originally produced in 1910, this particular watch has been meticulously serviced and customized to be worn as a wristwatch, featuring a captivating hexagonal case. In this article, we will delve into the notable characteristics of this remarkable timepiece.

Caliber and Specifications

The Omega pocket watch movement is a caliber from the year 1910, boasting 15 jewels for enhanced precision. While the serial number of the caliber remains unknown, its mechanical hand-winding mechanism allows for reliable timekeeping over a 24-hour period. An interesting feature of this watch is the long hand alignment, which can be achieved by gently pulling the crown one step. The case, made from gold-plated stainless steel, adds an elegant touch to the overall design. The watch is equipped with new mineral glass on both the front and back, enabling a clear view of the intricate mechanisms within.

Case Dimensions

The hexagonal case of the watch measures approximately 54.5mm in size, presenting a substantial presence on the wrist. Excluding the crown, the case measures around 48mm, while the case thickness stands at approximately 14.8mm. The lug width, which determines the compatibility with various strap options, measures approximately 22mm. It is worth noting that this case is custom-made, adding to the uniqueness of the timepiece.

Intricate Design and Engravings

The dial of this customized watch showcases an exceptional three-dimensional Freemasonry engraving, intricately crafted from a single plate. The hands of the watch are made from standard hardened steel, ensuring durability and accuracy. On the back of the watch, you will find a striking Freemason symbol trumpet, adding an element of mystique. Notably, the bridge of the watch movement has been skillfully hollowed out, without compromising its structural integrity.

Crown and Unique Features

The crown of this timepiece is designed in the shape of a soft-looking diamond, perfectly complementing the gold color of the case. Placed at a 45-degree angle due to the hexagonal shape of the case, the crown adds an intriguing touch to the overall aesthetics. Although the Freemasonry pattern on the dial may appear slanted at first, it becomes easier to appreciate once you familiarize yourself with the watch's exterior.

Strap and Timekeeping

The watch comes with a crocodile cowhide belt, exuding a sense of sophistication and luxury. In terms of timekeeping, the movement showcases a daily difference of approximately 1 to 2 minutes, which is considered commendable for a vintage timepiece. It is important to note that minor scratches may exist on the watch that are not visible in the provided photos. Prospective buyers should be aware of these imperfections and appreciate the vintage nature of the timepiece.

Conclusion

This Omega pocket watch movement turned custom wristwatch represents a remarkable fusion of history, craftsmanship, and personalization. Its unique hexagonal case, intricate engravings, and notable features make it a captivating timepiece for collectors and enthusiasts alike. If you understand and appreciate the vintage charm of this watch, it eagerly awaits a new owner who will cherish and care for it.
