A vintage 1930s Omega cushion-case wristwatch offered strictly as a parts donor or restoration project. The Omega-signed silvered dial features painted Arabic numerals, leaf-style hands with degraded radium fill, and a small seconds register at 6 o'clock. The watch is currently non-running and houses a CYMA 15-jewel manual movement — most likely a "marriage" (service replacement), though originality cannot be fully confirmed. Both lugs on one side are broken, the crystal is cracked, and verdigris is visible on the lower case.
Highlights
- Omega-signed silvered dial with period-correct painted Arabic numerals
- 1930s cushion case — sought-after Art Deco silhouette
- Original-style leaf hands with vintage radium patina
- Small seconds sub-register at 6 o'clock
- Ideal parts donor: salvageable Omega dial, hands, and case for an experienced watchmaker or collector
Likely Marriage — CYMA Movement
The watch is fitted with a CYMA 15-jewel manual caliber stamped "TWO ADJS." and "U.S. PAT. 403370," with "TACY WATCH CO." also visible. This is most likely a "marriage" — a service replacement movement rather than Omega's original caliber for this case — though we cannot confirm originality with full certainty. The movement is non-running in its current state and would require full service or replacement. The dial and case retain their original Omega signatures.
