Omega Marriage / Conversion Wristwatch

This is a 'marriage' or conversion watch, which typically utilizes an original vintage Omega pocket watch movement and dial that has been rehoused in a modern custom-made stainless steel wristwatch case. The timepiece features a white enamel or porcelain dial with printed black Roman numeral hour markers and a secondary outer track for minutes/seconds in Arabic numerals. Notable features include ornate, black filigree-style 'Louie' hands and a small seconds sub-dial located at the 6 o'clock position. The dial is signed 'OMEGA' below the 12 o'clock mark. The watch is fitted into a polished stainless steel case with large, straight lugs and an oversized onion-style winding crown at the 3 o'clock position, reflecting the conversion from its original pocket-held format. The crystal shows visible hairline cracking near the 12 and 1 o'clock positions, indicating potential impact damage or age-related stress. It is paired with a modern, textured brown leather strap featuring contrast yellow stitching. Based on the dial aesthetics and layout, the internal movement likely dates to the early 20th century (circa 1910-1930), while the case is a modern fabrication designed to make the historical movement wearable. The overall craftsmanship suggests a high-quality decorative piece, though its 'marriage' status means it is categorized as a custom assembly rather than an original factory-production wristwatch.
