Hi all,

I'd just like to share this 50s (I think) cal. 351 Omega with bumper movement that belongs to my father-in-law (it belonged to his father). Took it upon myself to take it in for a service today and managed to snap some pics before. Obviously it was quite dirty but inside seemed to be in pretty good shape!

I know nothing of this watch, except the following:
- cal. 351
- serial begins with 130xxxxx
- gold plated
- caseback reads 2592-1, brevet +, central watch case co.
- 'waffled'/guilhoche dial
- applied logo with 'omega automatic' at 12, and 'swiss made' markings at 6
- faint but signed crown.

I tried looking online for any info on this ref but couldn't find any that had this combination of dial and case. My watchmaker says the case is not very common for this caliber... Not looking to sell, just looking for some extra info on it.

Here are some pics!



Thanks in advance!
Lou

 

Lovely markers and dial texture!

 

Thanks for this, seems like the same case!
So would this be a Seamaster model as well?

Cheers,
