The beautifully understated two-tone silver dial is framed by applied Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6 and 9, faceted arrowhead hour markers and a crisp printed minute track. Particularly appealing is the original radium lume, preserved throughout the hands and dial plots, which has matured to a rich cream tone over the past seven decades, providing an elegant contrast against the cool silver dial. The sharp dauphine hands and applied Omega logo complete one of the most balanced post-war Omega dial designs.
Inside is Omega's celebrated Calibre 351 bumper automatic movement, one of the manufacture's pioneering self-winding calibres and a movement that occupies an important place in Omega's history. Dating from 1950 by its movement serial, it has been professionally serviced and is running exactly as it should.
The Staybrite stainless steel case, reference 2635-1, measures approximately 33mm excluding the signed crown and is distinguished by elegant horned lugs that give the watch far greater wrist presence than its diameter suggests. The case has been restored to an exceptionally high standard, with crisp transitions and excellent proportions throughout.
Finding an early bumper automatic of this quality is increasingly uncommon, particularly one that has been restored sympathetically while preserving its original dial furniture, hands and beautifully aged lume. A refined and highly collectible example from the golden age of Omega.
