Dating to c1949 ~ just prior to being sold at Turlers in 51 ~ and housing the legendary Omega Cal; 351 bumper automatic , one of the very best non chronometer movements in the world at the time & widely regarded as such now still.
With the original Swiss made case {one for the purists} with an heavy 80 microns of 14ct gold applied to the case {with many later Omega cases using 20 microns , these cases were/are literally 4 times the gold thickness} & the ‘tear drop’ lugs ~ with thick & solid case …… this really is a handsome vintage watch!
As per the photo’s the dial to this Vintage Omega Bumper Turler Dial Turler Box & Papers c1949 has some relatively minor marking. And as always the camera makes it appear worse than it is in person.
It appears as though it may be able to be cleaned up to some degree and it should be able to be lightened at least.
In saying that , many collectors expect & enjoy some aging to early watch.
This watch looks better on a wrist ~ especially with the new strap & buckle / both with Omega logo’s …… with the jet black strap having a matt finish giving a particularly good contrast to the ‘strong gold colourway’ of the dial in particular yet the watch in general.
This genuinely rare Vintage Omega Bumper Turler Dial Turler Papers watch from c1949 offer , with new leather Omega branded strap and buckle , has got to be serious value at au$795.
