    Good evening,

    aaaand on I go, selling off some pieces of my watch drawer - my wife shall be proud.

    For sale here is an early 1950s two-tone dial Omega bumper automatic 2637, the larger 35mm variant of this case style with a spectacular copper-colored patina, steel case and gold furniture.

    The Watch

    Omega Bumper Automatic
    Reference: 2637
    Movement: cal. 354 automatic
    Serial: 13364639
    Year: 1952
    Case: 35mm stainless steel
    Dial: depending on the light, red-brown-copper-colored, heavily patinated. Cross-hair, gold indices, hands and applied Omega-logo.
    Strap: Brown leather, vintage stitching
    Price: 490€


    Condition

    Dial & Hands: Original dial, heavily patinated. I tried my best to depict the changing color in the sunlight - never seen anything like it. At the very center, the original, white color of the dial shows. Some lighter spots here and there. Cross hair fully intact, with a warm brown to copper color. Swiss made clearly visible. Hands and indices are in good shape and really pop in the light. I have absolutely no clue how it turned this color.

    Case: Original 35mm stainless steel case in very good condition. Case had sharp edges and displays the original brushing, also on the case back. Lugs are polished and show clear edges where they’re attached at the case. Hardly any scratches.

    Crown: Original Omega crown which I believe is correct for the ref. Omega-logo on the crown clearly visible.

    Crystal: Generic crystal in very good condition.

    Movement: Original cal. 354 automatic in clean condition. It’s the development of the cal. 351, introduced in 1952, if I’m not mistaken, so this should be one of the earlier 354s. It starts quickly, runs well, sets buttery smooth, keeps good time. Service history is unknown, though. Serial dates the watch to 1952.

    Strap: Light brown leather with cream contrast stitching.

    Plenty reviews available here, but either my username is too short to use the search function for that or I’m not handling the forum software eloquently enough, which is entirely possible. Anyway:

    If there are any questions, please do reach out. And, as always, thanks @OF for the space!

    Here are a lot of pictures - my apologies, it’s just that a) I couldn’t stop as it’s as hard as it’s fun to photograph this chameleon, and b) I wanted to show as many facets as possible. Pictures aren’t enhanced in any way, if you’d like further just reach out! :)

    Note how the color changes with the light in a different angle, the inner circle being either brighter or darker than the outer one:

    Thanks for your post. :) Generally, I think prices are best discussed via pm. It’s OHPF now, though.

    sorry about that. It was an honest mistake and I thought I was writing a pm. Shouldn’t do 20 things at the same time. Lesson learned...
