·Here we have a beautiful 1949 Omega bumper automatic Calibre 351.
Dial: As you can see the two-tone radium dial is in very good shape with a unique and attractive patina. Depending on the angle it is observed and the lighting conditions, the dial looks slightly different and makes for quite a dynamic experience. The numerals at 2,4,6,8,10 and 12 are Roman numerals, which make this a rare example of Omega's classic scientific dial that is more often found on the super rare chronometres. The dial is clearly covered in a speckled patina, however this is even throughout the dial and makes for a very desirable example of one of Omega's first models of automatic wrist watch. The radium is a beautiful yellow colour that matches the hands, and all appears to be in tact and in good order. I believe the second hand to be a replacement, although I do not think this detracts from the beauty or collectability of the piece. There is what I believe to be the correct hand for sale on Ebay at the moment for $45 (item no. 114105415880).
Case: The case measures 35mm in diameter excluding the crown. It's a great size for a watch from this era and wears very nicely on the wrist. This is one of the larger of the examples of the Omega's from this era, making it a great choice for the modern gentleman.
The case is sharp and appears to be unpolished, all corners are sharp and bevels in tact, whilst many watches of this age have misshaped lugs through polishing these are the original shape as pictured. There are a few scratches and marks associated with years of wear, but overall it is in good condition.
Movement: This watch has been in my possession for around a few months and it is running well however I have not tested for accuracy. It has not been serviced during my ownership so I recommend that the buyer has the watch serviced, although this is of course up to your discretion.
Strap: This case fits 18mm wide straps and will be supplied on a genuine leather strap from my collection of the winners choosing. We can discuss this at the end of the auction. The pictured strap will not be included.
Box / Papers: There are no box and papers.
Price: WAS £900 + £50 insured worldwide shipping with FEDex - Now £700 all in!
