Pocket watches were often cased at the point of sale. Is the case marked Omega? If it is an Omega case, the number you quoted is a case serial number, which is different than the movement serial number.

Omega pocket watch movements ranged from 9 to 23 jewels and had a variety of methods of regulating the balance wheel (the part you can see in motion when you examine the movement). The movement has the movement serial number and the number of jewels marked on it.

Please post either the numbers from the movement and describe the regulation mechanism and the case manufacturer, or better, photos of the case and movement.

Here is my watch from the same era

note the serial number and regulation mechanism

Here is the most common regulation mechanism in the era (and today)
