£1,245.00

Case size34mm

Strap size 18mm

Ref 1190.

A stainless‑steel Omega bumper‑automatic wristwatch from the early 1950s, Reference 2658‑2, housed in a classic round case with tapered lugs. Measuring 34mm excluding the crown, the watch reflects the understated proportions of Omega’s post‑war production, offering a balanced and elegant profile on the wrist. The steel case provides durability and a versatile appearance suitable for both everyday wear and more formal use.

This example is fitted with Omega’s Calibre 342, a 17‑jewel bumper‑automatic movement used throughout the early 1950s. The movement features the characteristic hammer‑spring winding action and represents an important stage in Omega’s development of automatic mechanisms prior to the full‑rotor 500‑series. The movement is numbered 12,773,127, placing production in 1951. Calibre 342 is known for its reliability, robust construction, and ease of servicing.

The dial layout on this reference is the sub‑seconds configuration, with a subsidiary seconds register positioned above 6 o’clock. Applied hour markers and dauphine hands complete the mid‑century aesthetic typical of Omega’s designs of the period. The caseback is correctly signed 2658‑2, confirming originality and reference integrity. Case dimensions are 34mm diameter, 40.5mm lug‑to‑lug, and 18mm strap width.

This watch has been professionally cleaned and inspected, ensuring correct operation and reliable performance. It is supplied with a 12‑month mechanical warranty and a new presentation box.
