It's very difficult to provide help without pictures. From the information you've provided, I can tell you that Omega pocket watch with movement number 5,694,216 would have been made between 1916 and 1923. The 15 jewels and 2 adjustments would align with these dates as well. I do not know what "Fortune" or the other number mean. Here is a picture of a watch made in the same time period...does your movement look like this?

It is as you say extremely hard to exactly pinpoint your movement just by serial number, what makes it even harder is the fact the movement caliber isn't always under the balance wheel on these ones. 
But as a wild guess the  serial number 5694216 is from about 1920, The year together with your description might suggest your Omega pocket watch is a caliber 17"" of some kind.

Yes it does.. however , ( adjusted 2 positions and 15 jewels are written below of 'Omega watch Co Swiss' )  the rest of what you said is okay.

You're right 'cause i didn't see the number under the balance wheel ( there's no number  )

    • The plate is OK, thanks. It seems the answer to my question is that this is a 'hack' & for me another reminder that in general, one won't be the first person to be tinkering with an old timepiece!. As you day, I've been fortunate to have gotten some good advice and, just as important, encouragement. I've been lucky then not to have the balance spring break as a result of my novice 'ministrations' - but I did remember to 'stroke' rather than bend per se. The clock is of sentimental value to the owner so I'm relieved to have now got it running to time with the support & encourage of forum members like yourself.
    • Thanks ww, its maybe not as much of a bodge trick that i thought it was.

    • In think you are effectively shortening the coil by shorting out damaged tracks. In my case as long as the continuity was good and the resistance not too greatly affected it should be ok .  One was on an era  movement,
