Omega c. 1927 26.5 Nickel Silver Cushion Case Manual

Based on Omega’s 1920s workhorse 26.5 movement, this example is in nickel silver (a.k.a. German silver) and styled to resemble military trench watches from a decade earlier. I love the cathedral-style hands, although re-luming them was a bit tricky. The nickel silver is a bit soft, so the case back wore through on the edges and it was patched by a jeweler at some point.

Try to ignore the fugly blue nato strap - I’ve had trouble finding a suitable strap for the fixed lugs on this watch, but I’ll find something better eventually…
