Here we have a truly charming and increasingly scarce mid-century piece from Omega — a 1950s automatic bumper with one of the most attractive and uncommon dial configurations you’re likely to encounter.

 

Up for your consideration, this elegant Omega showcases a beautifully executed white honeycomb (waffle) dial — a texture synonymous with the brand’s golden era of design — but elevated here by the presence of applied Breguet numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9. This pairing is exceptionally uncommon, blending classical numeral styling with the more technical, textured dial finish to striking effect.

 

Powering the watch is Omega’s celebrated bumper automatic movement — the half-rotor design that gently “bumps” between springs as it winds. A hallmark of early automatic innovation in the 1950s, it offers not just mechanical charm but a tactile connection to the era every time it’s worn.

 

The case is equally pleasing, with brushed case flanks and elegant proportions typical of the period, complemented by its original bowler-style crown, still proudly signed with the Omega emblem. Details such as this are so often lost, making their presence here all the more desirable.

 

Adding further collector appeal, the watch retains its original plexiglass crystal, complete with the subtly embossed Omega logo floating within — a detail that speaks volumes to originality and preservation.

 

On the wrist, the watch wears with understated sophistication. The honeycomb dial catches the light beautifully, while the Breguet numerals lend a refined, almost dress-watch character, making it versatile across both formal and casual settings.

 

An elegant, honest, and increasingly hard-to-find configuration from Omega’s mid-century output — offering exceptional value and timeless appeal for the discerning collector.
