Omega bumper movements full#
The movement has been given a full overhaul including a service by our watchmaker. When the watch is moved, one can very gently feel and hear the rotor bouncing between its two bumper springs. This was a standard design perfected by Omega at the time and was in common use with other manufacturers including Jaeger LeCoultre and Zenith. The original high grade, cal.351 17 Jewels Bumper automatic movement, uses a rotor which arcs backwards and forwards between two ‘bumper’ springs to wind the watch.
– Vintage watches should be kept clean and dry at all times! ** Water resistance has not be tested and is not guaranteed. This all indicates the watch has very seldomly been worn. This case is very clean and crisp and shows no signs of wear with no dings or scratches visible to the naked eye. The inside of the case-back caries all the correct Swiss 14ct hallmarks, ‘Fab Suisse’ and the model number 2577, along with case reference number 10,998,xxx. The screw-back is a particularly nice two piece, fused together design which contributes greatly to the water resistance of this watch**. As with all earlier Seamasters, there is no emblem on the case-back. It is immediately apparent that this Omega Swiss made, 14ct solid gold case, is designed for strength! The wide bezel, the substantial lugs and the beautifully designed screw-back along with the depth of the case, all give the watch a particularly robust appearance. We think he has done a wonderful job here! The Explorer dial design, is one of our favourites and is so called because the dial looks like a compass! This is the original dial which has been restored to the highest standards by the best dial restorers in the UK. The applied gold arrow head hour makers and gold numerals all have a high polish, as do the original Dauphine hands. The 3, 6, 9, 12 ‘Explorer’ type dial has been beautifully restored and looks simply wonderful. This therefore is a very rare and desirable watch! The Omega Seamaster was first released in 1948 and has remained in production ever since! This is a particularly early watch from 1950 when the number of gold Omega Seamasters sold would have been a very small fraction of those seen at later dates. This is a beautifully presentable example of an early 14ct gold Omega Seamaster, gent’s dress watch from 1950.
