These are common Regina watch sizes and approximate face diameters in millimeters.
These references contain detailed information about sizes.įor home collectors, a close estimate can be made by measuring the actual face. For any important purpose the size should be determined correctly. The measurement is according to the width of the plate under the face, not the exterior of the case.
In North America, pocket watches are usually sized by the Lancashire gauge which is based on the Size 0s being 1 inch across and increasing sizes being measured in 1/30th of an inch. The systems used for sizing pocket watches have changed over time. It seems that large batches of certain numbered watches were made and sold over a period of years. This list comes from an Omega memo:įrom: Departement: Controle Central de Fabrication
The records that still exist make it possible to roughly date them by their serial numbers. The company changed hands in the 1970s and the new owners destroyed many of the old records, making it difficult to precisely date most Regina watches. Some early watches, made before the Omega takeover have a date stamped on the mechanism. This may be because of their robust quality, the fact that they were sold in rural stores or that Canada had a largely rural population. The term 'farmer watch' is sometimes applied to them. For example: "Some of these Regina-signed watches were Adjusted Highly Enough as to be suitable for use in railroad time service." The use of Regina watches for railroad timekeeping is documented on other sites as well. The National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors describes Regina watches as an inferior brand of Omega, but mentions that some were adjusted highly enough to be used as railroad timepieces, which was the standard for quality watches. Regina watches are occasionally stamped with the name of an American city, indicating that some were sold in the United States. One watch has been traced to the Arcola Jewelry store in Arcola Saskatchewan. The result is that many Regina watches have the name and town of a vendor on their face. Individually stamped production runs were made for a small fee. The faces and mechanisms were imported into New York and assembled with cases in Ontario, for sale mostly in Canada. The name was then trademarked by Omega in 1911, indicating that they bought the company at that time. The name Regina Pocket Watch was originally trademarked by LOUIS MAIER in Bienne Switzerland in 1888.
Regina pocket watches were a brand of pocket watches made by Omega that were popular in the early 1900s. Please introduce links to this page from related articles try the Find link tool for suggestions. This article is an orphan, as no other articles link to it.
