Now available at auction from Second Vintage This exceptional early Omega Seamaster is a definitive example of mid-century Swiss horology, featuring the highly collectible "Bumper" automatic movement.

Brand: Omega Model: Seamaster Reference Number: 2767-1 SC Serial Number: 12160748 Movement: Omega Caliber 354 Bumper Automatic Dial: Silver with applied gold-tone Arabic numerals and arrow markers Case Size: 34 mm Case Material: Stainless Steel Production Year: 1950 Condition: Excellent vintage condition Dial and Hands The silver dial has been remarkably well preserved and presents a sophisticated aesthetic with a subtle sheen. It features applied gold-tone arrowhead hour markers and applied Arabic numerals at the primary quarters, creating a classic vintage contrast against the silver background. The dial is signed with the applied Omega logo and the script "Seamaster" font with the distinct "coat hanger" S. The gold-tone dauphine hands show visible signs of oxidation and aging to the luminous inserts, which adds authentic vintage character to the piece. Case and Crystal The stainless steel case features the desirable thick "beefy lugs" that give this model a substantial presence on the wrist despite its classic dimensions. The case retains strong definition with polished surfaces that show normal signs of wear in the form of light scratches and handling marks consistent with its age. The crown is the correct period-specific Omega clover style. The screw-down caseback features the early "Seamaster" and "Waterproof" text engraved on the outer beveled edge, a detail specific to these early references. The acrylic crystal is clear and presents well. Movement Powering this watch is the renowned Omega Caliber 354, a 17-jewel "Bumper" automatic movement. This mechanism is famous for the tactile sensation of the rotor bouncing off the buffer springs, a unique characteristic beloved by collectors. The copper-colored movement presents cleanly and visually sharp. Timegrapher readings show approximately -21 to -30 seconds per day, offering reliable vintage performance. Strap The watch is fitted with a black leather strap featuring an alligator grain pattern and matching black stitching. It is secured by a classic silver-tone buckle that complements the steel case. The leather is pliable and in ready-to-wear condition. Condition This piece is in excellent vintage condition. The case edges remain distinct and the dial is exceptionally clean for a watch produced in 1950. While the hands show expected patina, the overall presentation is crisp and honest. The movement is clean and functioning within acceptable vintage tolerances. Dimensions The case measures 34 mm in diameter excluding the crown. The lug-to-lug length and the thickness of the bumper movement and domed crystal give it a wearing experience that feels slightly larger and more substantial than the dimensions suggest. Remarks Reference 2767 is a significant model in the Seamaster lineage, representing the transition from the 1940s aesthetics to the definitive 1950s sports watch style. The combination of the bumper automatic movement, the "beefy" lugs, and the early edge-engraved caseback makes this a historically rich timepiece. History Introduced in 1948 to celebrate Omega's 100th anniversary, the Seamaster was based on waterproof wristwatches made for the British military during World War II. It was designed to be a robust yet elegant watch for "town, sea, and country." This specific example from 1950 represents the very early evolution of what would become Omega's longest-running product line. / Second Vintage SKU: OMEM75I610000
