Gents 1951 Omega Seamaster Bumper Automatic Watch

Gents 1951 Omega Seamaster bumper automatic wrist watch.

The watch has a calibre 351 bumper automatic movement which is working nicely. Early automatic watches relied on the rotor ‘bumping’ backwards and forwards between two springs to maintain the power within the movement. Later automatic watches have the fully rotational rotor.

The movement is fully signed and the serial number 13,239,613 dates the watch back to around 1951.

The watch measures 34.5mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is stainless steel and it is in very nice condition. Omega winding crown. The inside of the screw-on case back has the Omega triangular logo and the case reference 2577 which is correct for the calibre 351 movement.

The lens is in good condition.

The signed dial is in its original finish with original dauphine shaped hands, centre seconds sweep and minute markers. There is a little marking to the dial.

A later leather strap has been fitted which has a buckle with an Omega logo.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
