Gents Omega Bumper Automatic Wrist Watch, 1944

1920 - 1940
Description

UK POSTAGE ONLY FOR THIS ITEM

Gents Omega bumper automatic wrist watch, 1944.

The watch has a calibre 30.10 RA PC 17-jewel bumper automatic movement which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 10,232,608 which dates it back to 1944.

The watch measures 35mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs, this is the large version which is more sought after. The case is stainless steel and it is in good condition, just a few small marks but nothing too noticeable at all. The inside of the case back is signed with the Omega logo, together with the case reference 2371/2 which is correct for the calibre.

The lens is in good condition (some natural light reflection showing in the photos).

The signed dial is in its original finish, the black print has faded over the years. Feuille shaped hands. General light marking across the dial.

A later leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Introduced in the 1930s and produced through the 1940s, the bumper automatic movement features an oscillating weight that pivots back and forth through a limited arc rather than rotating a full 360 degrees, striking springs or bumpers at each turn to wind the mainspring.

During the 1940s, mid-century wristwatches typically featured stainless steel or gold-plated cases, acrylic crystals, brass movement components, dial plates with printed Arabic numerals, and genuine leather straps.

Authenticity is verified by inspecting the movement serial number, checking for calibre markings beneath the balance wheel, and matching the case reference number stamped inside the case back with official manufacturer records.

A mid-century wristwatch featuring a leather strap pairs with tailored menswear, casual linen attire, or contemporary everyday wardrobe pieces, serving as a subtle functional accessory.

Mechanical watches should be serviced by a qualified horologist every three to five years, kept away from strong magnetic fields, and protected from water or humidity exposure to preserve dial condition and mechanical function.
