A0000001213

OMEGA VINTAGE WATCH "BUMPER" AUTOMATIC (HONEYCOMB DIAL): We present at auction a superb and purist example of Swiss watchmaking elegance from the early 1950s. This classic 33 mm Omega represents the pinnacle of sober mid-century design, ideal for vintage-piece collectors with mechanical character.

The absolute protagonist of this watch is its honeycomb dial. This intricate three-dimensional pattern is highly coveted in today’s market. The dial is completed with elegant applied faceted indices, stylized Dauphine hands, and a very beautiful small-seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock (Petite Seconde).

The case, with clean lines and stylized lugs, presents a warm golden tone. Inside, the watch houses an iconic original Omega automatic movement of the "Bumper" or hammer type (typically the famous calibres of the 342/344 family from 1950-1953), renowned for the characteristic nostalgic rebound of its oscillating mass.

Condition (Expert Review)
The watch is in a beautiful vintage state of preservation, showing an honest patina that certifies its authenticity and history:

Dial: Original and unrestored. The honeycomb texture is perfectly defined, showing a light and uniform champagne/creamy aged patina that is very attractive. The text "AUTOMATIC" remains crisp.

Case and Case Back: Shows micro-scratches and logos of use logical for its more than 70 years of history. The back is smooth and shows superficial scratches and the crown is not signed (common in maintenance of the era). Offered as Gold/Plated pending interior contrasts.

Box: The lot includes its magnificent original Omega box from the period, made in green faux leather with inner wood edge and the golden emblem, a rarity that substantially increases the overall value for collectors.
