Omega Bumper Automatic Gold 1947 Ref. 2445

Vintage Omega Classic Gold 80 Micron Rare Bumper Automatic 1947 [REF. 2445]

Historic Omega with bumper automatic movement

The Omega Ref. 2445 from 1947 is a classic vintage watch from the brand's early automatic era. Particularly noteworthy is its bumper automatic movement , one of Omega's first generations of automatic movements.

In these works, the rotor does not move freely in a circle, but bumps against two springs – the so-called “bumper” system , which provides a characteristic wearing feel and is particularly popular with collectors today.

The model features a strong 80-micron gold plating , which is significantly thicker than on many later gold-plated watches, thus ensuring a high-quality appearance and better durability.

With its classic white dial and elegant vintage case, this watch embodies the typical style of the late 1940s.
