Looks like a private label Illinois but the online database for that S/N is for a 19 jewel movement.

That is likely an Omega. The Serial number puts it at about 1909. More info on the case, dial, movement sigs and size would be extremely helpful.

It is not my watch. Asking for a friend. What I now have is close enough.

David> I have the identical movement in my hand. It is a Regina movement which was made by Omega for the Canadian market. Many of the Jeweler Dialed watches in Canadian used this movement. I have/had several of these and think they are pretty nice movements.

I agree, I have restored a number of these, mostly signed Regina and some other private labels and all with great results.

Just chiming in to add that Regina is the label that Omega used for their exports to Canada, and that it is pronounced with a long i, like the city in Canada. I believe that one of the Canadian medalists in the recent Winter Olympics hails from Regina, Canada.

Mark McMorris was Canada's first medal winner at Sochi winning the bronze in the snowboarding slopestyle. Impressive if you consider he was nursing a broken rib. I guess the extreme cold in Regina makes em especially tough.
