Description

This one of the rarest of all Omega Seamasters the Jumbo sized Omega Seamaster Bumper Automatic model reference 2657 with calibre 344 chronometer movement.

The diameter is 36.5mm 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 344 fully automatic Bumper chronometer 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 Explorer dial with sub seconds is totally original and untouched it has had no restoration whatsoever, its in fabulous condition with just a slight even patina to give away its 70 years. The lume on the dial and the hands is also original with remarkably no losses whatsoever.

The winding crown is original and has the early flat footed Omega symbol.

The case is in fabulous condition all we have done is a light polish The case back has none of the case tool damage normally seen on watches from this period, its just perfect.

We have fitted a top quality Tan strap but we can fit almost any colour or style of strap you prefer, we keep most things in stock

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.

This would undoubtedly be one of the most prized Seamasters of any collection.

A true collectors heirloom watch not to be missed.

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

A bumper automatic movement is an early self-winding mechanism where a weighted rotor swings back and forth through a restricted arc, rather than rotating fully 360 degrees, striking springs that bounce it back.

Mid-century timepieces typically featured stainless steel or gold-plated cases, acrylic or Hesalite crystals, and genuine leather straps, often paired with brass or copper alloy watch movements.

Authenticity is verified by examining serial numbers on the movement and case back, inspecting the typography and dial finishing for consistency, and checking the calibre against manufacturer archives.

A vintage timepiece adds understated sophistication to contemporary attire, pairing well with tailored suits, minimalist smart-casual ensembles, or classic knitwear.

Vintage mechanical watches should be serviced regularly by a professional horologist, kept away from extreme magnetic fields, and protected from moisture unless specifically rated for water resistance.
