According to the Omega "Bible" Omega a Journey Through Time, the first series produced Omega wrist watch was created in 1900. Whilst wrist watches had been in use many years prior they weren't popular until proven in military use during the Boer War 1899-1902.
 
The watch for sale here dates to about 1915 and is very similar in appearance to the very first Omega wrist watch of 1900. It's in excellent condition and is the size of an average 1950s classic Seamaster so has good wrist presance.
