Movement numbered 10.52.1.498 (1946) Case numbered 10.829.241 Diameter: 35 mm - Length of the bracelet: 16 - 20 cm - Gross weight: 50.50 g After the Second World War, Omega began marketing automatic movements for its city watches. Although already existing with competitors, it is during the war that several prototypes are realized by Charles Perregaux and launched in production in 1943. They are characterized by their finesse, by a frequency of alternations of 19800 per hour and by systems of "circumferential oscillating mass limited by elastic stops". Simplified by enthusiasts as "automatic bumper movement", they are recognizable when handling the watch by a "hammer" effect, referring to the effect produced on the springs returning the mass (which winds the watch only in one direction in the vast majority of cases). Our watch has charming and unusual lugs, known in Omega nomenclature as "Double Jonc" (or cow horns), characteristic of the aesthetics of classic watches of the 1945/55 period. This watch is in remarkably good condition, close to new, with a pristine two-tone dial. Condition report: Very good general condition, dial in perfect condition, slight patina on the case, the watch works at the time of the expertise, without guarantee of functioning in time, a revision of use advised.
