Watch: Gents Omega Bumper Automatic Wrist Watch 1947

UK POSTAGE ONLY FOR THIS ITEM The watch has a 17-jewel bumper automatic movement, calibre 351, which is working nicely. Early automatic movements such as this one 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 it has the serial number 11,671,891 which dates it back to 1947. The watch measures 35mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is stainless steel and it is in good condition. The inside of the screw-on case back has the Omega logo and also the case reference 2480-1 which is correct for the calibre 351. The lens is in good condition. The signed dial is in its original finish with original hands and centre seconds hand. Luminous detail has been removed from the hands and numbers at some stage. The watch has a later leather strap with an Omega buckle. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland).
