EPW - Omega, Swiss, Grade DDC, 52mm (16S for North American market), gold-filled OF recase with attractive engine turning and engraving detail including a small castle scene to rear shield, initials to front shield, cuvette with name and 1916 date, white enamel DS dial with marginal minute numerals displaying single digits for the intermediate numerals between 5-minute positions, SW-LS, fully capped lever escapement, 21J, snail-cam regulator, marked "Adjusted to Five 5 Positions," sunburst pattern nickel damascene, s#2524969. We have observed relatively quite few examples of this Grade DDC movement and believe this grade is likely scarcer than some of the other contemporary high grade Omega products such as the DDR, CCCR, DR and CCR. CONDITION: Mvt: Running, nearly mint cosmetic mvt condition overall, few micro-fine scratches, case screws mismatched with one having a smaller than appropriate head size; visible portion of dial with hl above seconds-register, hl below seconds-register near 5:30; excellent hands; case shows light to medium wear, no dents, reduced engine turning and engraving detail with some areas of full loss which are primarily at shoulders; tight bow, crown shows medium wear; clean plastic crystal. Estimate: $600 - $1,200 JH-74548
