Gents Omega Pre-seamaster Jumbo Bumper Auto Watch

£595    $748    €715
UK POSTAGE ONLY FOR THIS ITEM
 
Gents Omega pre-Seamaster jumbo bumper automatic wrist watch.
 
The watch was manufactured one year before Omega brought out the Seamaster model, Omega’s longest running watch model. This particular watch has the same movement calibre and case as the Seamaster, just one year later and it would have been signed Seamaster on the dial.
 
The watch has a 17-jewel calibre 351 bumper automatic movement which is working nicely.
 
Early automatic movements such as this one relied on the rotor ‘bumping’ backwards and forwards between two springs to maintain the power within the movement. Later automatic watches have the fully rotational rotor.
 
The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 11,674,952 which dates it back to 1947.
 
The watch is the larger size at 36mm diameter excluding the winding crown and lugs. The case is stainless steel. It has a 2cm scratch across the back but other than that, it is in good condition with just minor marking. The inside of the screw-on case back has the Omega logo, and the case reference 2494-1 which is correct for the calibre 351.
 
The lens is in lovely condition.
 
The signed dial is in its original finish with original dauphine shaped hands and centre seconds hand. There is some even age related patination across the dial.
 
A new leather strap has been fitted.
 
The watch comes in a new presentation box.
