Omega Seamaster Mark 1 Bumper Automatic C1950

1940 - 1960
Description

This is a very fine example of a gents classic wristwatch made by the world renowned premier Swiss maker Omega.

The watch is the calibre 351 automatic bumper movement Seamaster and the serial number dates this accurately to 1950, this is classed as a Mark 1 being one of the earliest of its kind.

An Omega "bumper" is a vintage Omega that has a "bumper" automatic movement rather than a full rotation rotor automatic. The oscillating weight makes a partial rotation before "bumping" into a cushioning spring.

The tow tone dial has been restored so is in superb condition.

It measures 34.5mm in diameter excluding the winding crown.

It also has the Omega symbol on the original winding crown.

A new glass has been fitted and the case has been professionally polished so it is in superb condition.

As you would expect the watch is fully marked on the dial, movement and case.

Omega are one of the most exclusive watchmakers in the world and this watch certainly has that understated elegance that whispers class.

The watch has been fully serviced and is guaranteed to be a genuine Omega in all respects. It has been professionally overhauled, the process is highly detailed and meticulous.

We can fit any colour or style of strap you prefer.
