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 bought this 1933 Omega sector dial from a tiny antique store in Edinburgh. It didn’t run super well and the crystal was coming off, so I took it to a local vintage watch store and got it serviced. Now it’s my favorite watch I own.
