Thank you for the video, I knew 0 pocket watch references before and now I know at least 18! Reference 1053 is my favorite of the bunch you showed. I like how much slimmer things got starting in 1965.
Thank you for your research and great video! Such wonderful variety. Difficult to pick a favorite, but of course a few stand out, including references: 141 (love porcelain, and that mvnt!), 1053 (so unusual), and of course 169. The movements are very beautiful, but I am a bit surprised that there is not damaskeening - perhaps that is more an American thing. Don't know about Patreon, but will investigate. Thanks again.
Thank you for the comment. Good taste! I believe some of the older movements do have damaskeening. But nothing as beautiful as those you see on American pocket watches. Not to mention that early American pocket watches are better made in my opinion. My Patreon link is in the description box. Feel free to take a look. :)
Nice collection. I have a solid silver open front Omega railroad pocket watch form 1913. Serial number is 4024289. To open the watch you have to unscrew the front bezel and the movement hinges out the front. It needs a service but is otherwise in operating condition. It was running five years ago but was loosing time. Oils are obviously dried out. There are no reference numbers on the movement and the OMEGA name on the movement is in block letters. The face says OMEGA in very small font and there is no omega symbol. It looks a lot like the last watch in your video but it is bulkier and probably heavier. Sure would like to no more about it. I like your informative videos. Thank you for sharing.

Glad to hear. Into the 1960s Omega started to use wristwatch movements. That will make the case slimmer. There is also a calendar version too

I have a 1975 mechanical movement De Ville pocket watch in 20 micron gold plated. I'd love to find the matching chain for the watch.
Nicely done...
Thank you! Cheers!
Omega pocket watches are beautiful 😁👍
Indeed they are
I have inherited an omega pocket watch it's beautifully but I have no clue of it's value
Try asking on the Omega Forums. There are many specialists there who can help you grade and appraise your watch.
