Description

This is an extremely rare 18ct gold Omega bumper automatic, model reference 14319 dating from around 1953

The diameter is 35mm excluding the original crown which is quite large for this period.

The movement is the calibre 342 Bumper automatic.

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. This is the earliest type of automatic movement.

The case is just stunning with sharp "Devils Horns" Lugs that are niceley swept back so that it just follows the contour of your wrist all of the edges are clean and sharp.

The real beauty of this watch is in its superb textured dial, It has been beautifully restored and looks as good as the day it left the factory. It has a subtle two tone surface with the most stunning solid gold shooting stars hour markers.

All of the hands are original and are also solid gold.

The case has all of the correct swiss and British hallmarks for solid 18ct gold.

As you would expect the watch is fully marked on the dial, movement and case. Overall this watch is in superb condition. It has clearly been seldom worn and an absolute must for Omega collectors. You will probably never see another.

One of the most beautiful and rarest vintage Omegas.

We offer a highly personalised and bespoke service.

FAQs

The 1950s marked a golden era for watchmaking, characterised by clean minimalist dials, refined case proportions, and the transition towards automatic movements.

Traditional construction typically involves precious metals such as 18-carat gold or stainless steel for the case, paired with high-grade mechanical movements featuring rubies as bearing jewels.

Authenticity is verified by examining the hallmarking on the case, matching serial numbers on the movement and case back against manufacturer archives, and inspecting the calibre for correct finishing.

A vintage timepiece adds understated sophistication when worn with tailored clothing or displayed on a specialist watch stand within a gentlemans library or office setting.

Preservation requires regular servicing by a qualified horologist every three to five years, avoiding exposure to moisture and magnetic fields, and storing them in a temperature-controlled environment.
