Intriguing vintage Omega for sale here. Nice case, but the best part is that there is also a Seamaster calendar in there somewhere...?

Not sure I understand you. The Seamaster Calendar had cals. 353 and 355. This is a cal. 354 (non-chronometer version). Swan's neck regulator is correct for this caliber.

The case is French, which is consistent with the "Fab. Suisse" on the dial. This was a requirement in France at the time the watch was produced in the early 1950's. Only issue I see is with the rotor assembly which was either improperly cleaned or replaced at one time. But it is the correct part.

Price is a little high, but I'll let others worry about that.

That is what confused me. The title says 354 bumper, but in the description he states it is a 354 seamaster calendar. I guess a mistake then?

You didn't make a mistake, the seller did. He seems to have added something in the translation.

Yes indeed, the English translation does not match the French text. Only one (354 non calendar) watch for sale.
