FS: Omega bumper 2798-1 (seamaster) waffle two-tone dial

Up for grabs is a stunning Omega bumper waterproof case ref. 2798-1 from mid 1950s (serial 141****) with the 17 jewel bumper movement cal. 344.

This example boosts a beautiful two tone textured dial with clous the paris decoration, a sharp case, rose gold hands and hour markers, original crown and glass. Overall it appears in beautiful original conditions as shown in the pictures and summarized below.

Dial & hands: beautiful two-tone silver-champagne dial with rose gold arabic numerals and hour markers. The dial is original and in very good conditions for its age. The outer champagne sector is in perfect conditions, while the inner cream circle show few minor imperfections concentrated mostly between 6 and 9 o'clock (see the pictures). Hands and markers retain most of their original luminous material (do not glow anymore).
While this example features only the Omega automatic writings below the rose gold applied logo, the same watch configuration existed also with the Seamaster logo on the dial explaining the waterpoof case.

Case: oversized waterproof case ref 2798-1 measuring 34.5 mm without the crown and 37.5 mm including the crown. The case is sharp with superifical scratches and no major notches. The crown is original and appears correct to the model. The glass is marked with the omega logo in the centre and has a minor scuff at 6 o'clock. The band is in poor conditions but the buckle appears original although maybe from a later period.

Movement: appears in fair conditions and running well.

Accuracy and service history: service history is unknown. The watch runs smoothly and appears quite accurate, around 30 sec/day. Please notice that a service may be necessary and that this accuracy is only indicative and not guaranteed.

Price: I am asking 1350€ shipped for this watch.

Please have a detailed look at the high resolution pictures, they are part of the descirption.

I am a private collector and have no connection with omega. Myself and the watch are located in Spain.

Import duties/taxes and associated costs for shipments outside the European Union are responsability of the buyer.

Highest reliability offered and demanded. Pay with paypal and buy with confidence. For any doubt don't hesitate to contact me.

I have feedback on ebay as 'amazaonthemoon321' and you can check my instagram @amazaonthemoon.

Thanks CT for the space.
