Here's some pics of my Grandgrandfather's Omega. It's not so accurate but it still works!

I don't know how old the watch is but my Grandgrandfather was born 1879 and died 1928.

What a lovely family heirloom! You might want to sign up with Omega for their vintage watch information service.
It is a marvellous resource tool and is free, you can check serial numbers and email them wuestions(they do take a while to answer though!)
here is the link

http://www.omegawatches.com/index.php?id=98

I have several vintage omegas, wonderful quality of those old watches.
I am not familiar with their pocket watchs so can't be of help on the date but you should be able to find out a large amount of info from the link I gave.
Enjoy it and take it to a good watchmaker to service it and regulate it!
All the best.

Wow...what a unique piece! Totally pristine to boot.

Wow, the hands on that watch are simply works of art.

Incredible.

What a great watch to have and so special because of the family connection. Thanks for sharing.

Hi,

If you can take a picture of the movement and post any numbers and/or hallmarks inside the case/movement, we should be able to give you an exact date.
In my opinion it is later then 1910, numbers and outer rim going inward suggest that.
Dial is in excellent condition for that age!
