Hey OF. Wishing everyone a Happy Lunar New year. Health, wealth and best wishes to everyone. During this time of festivity, a friend texted me a series of pictures of an omega his grand dad has left him. Possible to get some help to identify it? No movement pics as my friend isn't savy with watches.
A lot of mid 1950s Omegas didn't have a named model, just an Omega automatic. The information you need is on the inside. Hire a watchmaker to open the watch and take pictures of the inside caseback, which will have the case reference number, and the movement, which will have the movement caliber and serial number.
That's a bumper, rock it gently from 9 to 3 you should be able to feel the bump. The crown has been changed & the seconds hand has either been changed or had the tip broken off. Its a center seconds, so most likely a cal 351 or 354. Of course, we need to see pics of the inside as menytioned to confirm anything.
Looks like a ref 2635. These were sometimes dialed Seamaster and sometimes not, I've had them both ways. Can't say for sure if the dial on OPs watch is original or not, but I think it probably is.
