Crafting an enamel dial is a meticulous process, involving the application of finely ground glass to a metal base, which is then heated to high temperatures to create a glossy, vitreous surface. The artisans of that time had to be adept at controlling the temperature and consistency of the enamel to achieve a flawless result. The perfect and spotless enamel dial of this pocket-watch showcases the expertise and dedication of the watchmakers in achieving a harmonious blend of functionality and aesthetics – considering the age of this timepiece, its overall condition, and especially that of the enamel dial, the condition is truly fantastic. The black printed fancy Arabic numerals on the enamel dial lend a classic touch, allowing for easy legibility and adding a sense of sophistication to the timepiece. The cathedral hands, with their slender and graceful design, complement the overall aesthetic, reflecting a sense of refined elegance. At the six o’clock position of the dial, a small seconds indicator enables the wearer to observe the smooth, uninterrupted movement of the seconds hand. Also, take note of the lovely fonts chosen for the Omega name and logo, as well for the Arabic numerals, and the small seconds sub-dial. Keep in mind that the entire dial was created entirely by hand, as well as the golden case.. Make no mistake, this was next level watch making in 1914.

The manual labor invested in crafting the guilloché pattern exemplifies the dedication of the watchmakers in creating an aesthetically pleasing timepiece.
