The Rarest of All Omega Seamasters, the 18ct Rose Gold Omega Seamaster Jumbo Bumper 1953

1940 - 1960
Sold 19 December 2024 · Fowey River Antiques
This “Rarest of All Omega Seamasters, the 18ct Rose Gold Omega Seamaster Jumbo Bumper 1953” found a buyer.

It was listed by Fowey River Antiques. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.

Description

This is probably the rarest of all Omega Seamasters ever made the Jumbo sized Omega Seamaster Bumper Automatic model reference 2657 in solid 18ct rose gold.

The diameter is just over 36mm excluding the crown which makes this a jumbo and is the largest of the bumper vintage Omega Seamasters.

The movement is Omegas highly reliable calibre 342 fully automatic Bumper movement. 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 two tone dial with sub seconds is totally original and un touched it has had no restoration whatsoever, its in fabulous condition with just a slight even patina to give away its 70 years.

The case is in fabulous condition all we have done is a light hand polish with some jewellers rouge to bring out the colour of the solid 18ct rose gold. The case back has none of the case tool damage normally seen on watches from this period, its just perfect.

Remarkably this watch comes with its original Omega paperwork from 1953 and additional valuation certificates done through the years.

The watch has just been fully serviced and is guaranteed to be genuine Omega in all respects. It is keeping time to within Omegas original specification and comes with a one year warranty.

If you doubt how rare this watch is we searched the internet and could find no previous examples ever sold.

This would undoubtedly be the most coveted Seamaster of any major collection.

A true collectors heirloom watch not to be missed.

We offer a highly personalised and bespoke service.

  • StyleMid-Century Modern
  • Material18ct Rose Gold, Leather, Acrylic

Wristwatches from this era typically feature robust water-resistant construction, classic dial configurations, and proprietary mechanical movements developed during the mid-twentieth century.

These timepieces commonly utilise solid precious metals such as 18-carat rose, yellow, or white gold, paired with durable leather straps and acrylic crystals.

Authentication involves examining hallmark stamps on the case, verifying serial numbers against manufacturer archives, and inspecting the movement calibre for correct signature markings.

This type of accessory complements tailored formalwear or smart-casual attire, serving as a subtle focal point that adds historical elegance to contemporary outfits.

Owners should service the mechanical movement every few years, avoid exposure to moisture unless properly water-tested, and store the timepiece in a temperature-controlled environment.
