Description
A nickel-finish Omega pocket watch housed in a brown leather wristband. Per the branding on its face, the watch was retailed by Levy Hermanos (The Levy Brothers' jewelry and watch company, established in Manila, Philippines in 1873 and incorporated internationally in 1920) through La Estrella del Norte, the name of their firm and original store. Though exact date of manufacture could not be determined, it was likely made in the 1910s-1920s. Gift of Gene Abbott, resident of Old Town and Milford.
