Extraordinary Antique Omega Occultist Baphomet Digital Dial Pocket Watch (51mm)

An absolutely extraordinary and highly controversial artifact of turn-of-the-century horology. Manufactured by Omega circa the early 1900s, this massive 51mm pocket watch features a shockingly bold and intricate esoteric dial that abandons traditional timekeeping for a complex “digital” or sector layout, heavily imbued with occult symbolism.

The visual centerpiece of the enamel dial is a detailed depiction of Eliphas Lévi’s Baphomet (the Sabbatic Goat). The winged, hermaphroditic figure is seated in the traditional lotus pose, bearing the pentagram on its forehead and the caduceus on its abdomen, pointing toward the crescent moons—representing the Hermetic principle of “As above, so below.” The Baphomet is flanked by the All-Seeing Eye of Providence (left) and the Ouroboros serpent swallowing its own tail (right), symbolizing eternal cycles and forbidden knowledge.

This dial design completely reimagines time indication. It utilizes a continuous outer minute track (0-60) read by a single hand. The hours are indicated digitally (Roman numerals I-XII) through an arched aperture window located directly beneath the Baphomet figure. This type of esoteric, jump-hour / wandering-hour dial on a premium Omega movement represents a staggering rarity, likely commissioned for a high-ranking member of a hermetic order or esoteric society during the occult revival of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
