Rare Solid 14ct Rose Gold Omega Bumper Automatic Two Tone Dial 1949

1920 - 1940
Description

Rare Omega solid 14ct rose gold gents wristwatch.

This is a very fine example of a gents classic wristwatch made by the world renowned premier Swiss maker Omega.

Solid 14ct Rose Gold Bumper Automatic model reference 2398 with calibre 332 movement.

The diameter is 35mm excluding the crown

The movement is Omegas highly reliable calibre 332 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 perfect having just been professionally restored

The 14ct solid rose gold 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.

The inside of the back has the correct Swiss hallmarks for solid 14ct gold.

This was Omegas top of the range dress watch in 1949

It has the Omega symbol on the winding crown.

As you would expect the watch is fully marked on the dial, movement and case. It comes with a brand new high quality chocolate brown leather strap but we can fit any colour or style you prefer.

Omega are one of the most exclusive watchmakers in the world and this watch certainly has that understated elegance that whispers class.

Overall this watch is in outstanding condition and highly sought after by Omega collectors indeed it looks as if it was rarely worn.

The watch has been fully serviced and is running to within Omegas original specification. It comes with a one year warranty.

We offer a highly personalised and bespoke service.

If you would like to buy or reserve this watch please telephone us on 01726 813155 or email

This mid-century modern gentleman's wristwatch is a solid 14ct rose gold piece by Omega, dating from the 1940s. The design includes a two-tone cream dial, dart hour markers, dauphine hands, a subsidiary seconds dial, and an Omega symbol on the winding crown. The case material is rose gold, complemented by a brown leather strap and an acrylic crystal. The diameter is 35 mm excluding the crown. Suitable for daily wear in a professional office environment or formal evening settings, this timepiece brings classic horological heritage to a modern wardrobe. The clean dial layout and warm metallic tones pair easily with formal tailoring or smart-casual attire.

Introduced in the early-to-mid 20th century, a bumper automatic movement utilizes a rotor mechanism that pivots back and forth between two spring bumpers rather than rotating a full 360 degrees to wind the mainspring.

Mid-century Swiss wristwatches were typically constructed using solid carat gold or stainless steel cases, silvered or two-tone metal dials, acrylic crystals, and high-grade leather straps.

Authenticity is verified by checking the movement serial numbers against production records, confirming matching reference numbers inside the case back, and examining calibre markings and dial execution.

A slim vintage gold wristwatch with a leather strap acts as a sophisticated accessory, pairing naturally with formal tailoring, business shirts, or refined smart-casual attire.

Keep the timepiece stored in a dry location away from magnetic fields, avoid moisture contact, and arrange a complete mechanical movement service with a qualified watchmaker every three to five years.
