Our View
The early Omega bumper automatics remain some of the most charismatic vintage watches available. Long before the fully rotating rotor became standard, Omega utilised a hammer-wind system that gives these watches a unique feel and personality on the wrist.
This example combines all the ingredients collectors look for: a desirable Calibre 351, original Arabic numeral dial, signed crown and honest ageing throughout. The patina and dial crazing only enhance its authenticity, reminding you that this watch has survived almost 80 years while retaining its original charm.
A superb opportunity to acquire a genuine piece of Omega history from one of the brand’s most important eras.
