This is an extraordinary ladies' Omega watch dating from 1930, featuring a beautiful 9ct solid gold cushion-shaped case that opens in the manner of a traditional pocket watch. Representing a fascinating period in horological history, this timepiece reflects Omega's transition from pocket watch craftsmanship to the elegance of the Art Deco period. The remarkable dial features Arabic numerals, a subsidiary seconds display and the stylish blued Louis XV-style hands with distinctive open-circle tips, a decorative and highly desirable design element popular during the period. 

Remarkably, for a watch approaching a century in age, this example remains in beautiful original vintage condition and excellent mechanical order, running strongly and keeping accurate time. A truly exceptional survivor from the early days of wristwatch design and a fantastic opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
