Capture a piece of horological history with this exceptional fully refurbished Omega Seamaster, a definitive example of mid-century Swiss engineering. Dating from approximately 1949–1950, this watch represents the very first generation of the legendary Seamaster line.
This watch features a beautifully aged silver-white dial that has developed a subtle, warm patina over the decades. It is characterised by its sophisticated "Explorer-style" layout, featuring:
Breguet-style Arabic numerals at the 12, 3, and 9 o'clock positions.
Faceted arrowhead indices that catch the light from every angle.
Dauphine hands and a dedicated sub-seconds register at 6 o'clock, offering a balanced and classic vintage silhouette.
At the heart of this watch is the renowned Calibre 342 "Bumper" Automatic movement. Unlike modern full-rotation rotors, this early automatic mechanism features a weighted mass that "bumps" between two internal springs. It provides a unique tactile feel on the wrist– a gentle reminder of the mechanical heartbeat within.
Case Material: Polished Stainless Steel
Case Diameter: 34mm (excluding crown)
Movement: Omega Calibre 342 Bumper Automatic
Crystal: Acrylic
Strap: Premium Black Leather
Era: Late 1940s / Early 1950s
Collector's Note: This early execution is particularly desirable because it predates the standardised use of the "Seamaster" text on the dial, making it a "stealth" classic for the discerning collector.
Water resistance is not tested and cannot be guaranteed. Water resistance should not be relied upon and the watch should be kept away from water unless professionally pressure tested.
Please inspect the photos carefully to assess the condition of the watch before proceeding with your purchase.
