This pre-owned 1940’s vintage Omega Bumper Automatic, 18ct yellow gold watch is stylish timepiece history, in the present. The 35mm sized yellow gold case houses a fully functioning automatic calibre 351 movement. This Omega stays consistent in its colour, as the bright but warm tones of the gold case carry through into the dial, batons and hands. The watch is attached to a genuine Omega leather strap.
This watch is supplied with a Parkers 12-month warranty.
Model History:
In 1931, the bumper was launched by Omega. The innovation impacted the future of watches. Omega had developed a movement that featured two weights, allowing for their automatic watches to be wound in either direction, but working differently to how modern automatics work. A bumper movement is still wound by a weight within the watch movement, but unlike today’s automatics, this weight doesn’t showcase a free movement and only swings almost in a back and forth motion. The initial concept was supposedly inspired by a ‘seesaw’.
Condition report:
This watch is in an overall excellent condition, with some minor markings on the dial.
