Omega Automatic Bumper – Cal. initial | c. 1938–1944 | Revised

Elegant and rare vintage watch from the prestigious Omega, equipped with one of its early bumper automatic movements, dating approximately to the late 1930s / early 1940s.

This example represents an early phase of automatic watchmaking, with a limited-travel rotor system (“bumper”), direct predecessor of modern automatic movements.
