··Oooo subtitles!Ah was the photo always there? Anyhow, that is indeed a late one, ~1954 at a guess.

··Oooo subtitles!If you want a definitive answer on year, get an extract of the archives but it will be there or thereabouts. Here is a 2402 that was for sale, from a dealer I may give you further info, theirs was on 13.49m and they dated it at 1953:

·According to my Guide to Watches. S/N falls between 1954 at 14 mil and 1956 at 15 mil
Based on the movement number. Could be in the 1954 year.
As mentioned by padders. You could just email Omega and ask for a possible date

··understands the decision making hierarchyWelcome tjames, I'm a jamest.
Chuck Maddox, a recognized authority, has some different ranges for serial numbers. Is there a significance to the date or are you trying to authenticate a late bumper?
I was hung up on dates (birth year and all that) but it passes.
Unless you have a dealer receipt with photos next to the delivering womb it's damn near impossible to ascertain.
I am so happy to enjoy the wonderful era's and the ebb and flow of fashion from the turn of the (20th) century to Art Nouveau followed by Art Deco, Modernism, the war, the 50'ies and on and on.
Your watch is wonderful from a wonderful era, might even be my birthyear!
Needs a strap though.....
