Oriental Watch - Information Wanted

[JerseyMo]

My recent flea market trip yield this great 'Oriental Watch'.  I is a housed in a 3 piece case and has a nice jeweled movement inside.  After a little bit of work it is running quite well.

I cannot find much information on it other than there is an Oriental Watch Ltd. located in Hong Kong.  My thinking is this was an in store product sold sometime back in the 1940's.

Anyone every see or hear of this maker?

It might be an Omega.

I noticed there is a lot of Oriental watches on ebay from Italy, expensive too. But very nice.

It the mainly come from Italy, then...

.. this may be the original  source. As to who actually made the movements, I cant tell from the picture, but I couldn't find a matching Omega, so perhaps that is less likely after all.
