- Cataloguing Status and Observations
- The auctioneer catalogued the watch in 'non working' condition, noting an overall appearance of good condition. Internal mechanical parts, specific caliber details, and inner case stamps are not visible in the front-facing photograph and rely on cataloguer descriptions. Attribution of manufacture to Switzerland is based on the reported Omega marks on the movement and case, while the dial signature corresponds to Peter Diehl of Kaiserslautern, Germany.
- Reported Case and Movement Specifications
- The catalog records the movement as marked 'Omega' with serial number 3894432. The housing is described as a size 16 case marked 'Omega 0.800', reflecting silver content reported by the seller. An accompanying watch chain measuring 18.75 inches in length is included with the lot. Together, the combined assembly has a reported total weight of 110 grams, and the cataloguer assigns an estimated date of the early 20th century.
