Early Omega Military Style Automatic Bumper C1944

1920 - 1940
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 Omega military style with calibre 28.10 automatic bumper movement, the serial number dates this accurately to 1944, 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 dial has been restored and relumed

It measures 35mm in diameter excluding the winding crown.

It has its correct original winding crown without the Omega symbol The Omega symbol on winding crowns was only introduced in 1950 and this is a much earlier watch.

A new glass has been fitted and the case has been ultrasonically cleaned, its in superb condition.

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

We can fit almost any style of strap you prefer, explorers style as pictured, military webbing style or more conventional Leather in all colours and styles , we can even fit a brushed stainless steel mesh bracele, just let us know what you would prefer.

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.
