[Discussion] What's the oldest watch you have? (alien.top)

What's the oldest watch you have? And why?

I sold a variety of Swiss and non-swiss brands for a long time when I worked as a jeweller. At the same time, I developed an interest in antique jewellery and watches.

So whether is cheap or expensive, working or not, 5 years old or 100+ years old, what's the oldest watch you own? Is it a sentimental piece or something you purchased because of its model?

Just hoping to find out about some more different watches out there!

I've got a vintage Omega (166.0209) that dates from the 1970s - it runs but is in dire need of servicing. In terms of watch I've had in my possession the longest, that would be a Timex Expedition dress watch I got ~16 years ago via an old points reward system. This one works just fine, and ticks as loudly as the day I got it.
