FOR SALE – OMEGA SEAMASTER AUTOMATIC JUMBO – TWO-TONE PATINA DIAL – 1950s
We are pleased to offer this beautiful Omega Seamaster Automatic Jumbo reference 2856-1 SC from the 1950s, featuring a stunning original two-tone dial with beautifully even, flake like patina, an elegant gold plated case and the reliable Omega calibre 491 automatic movement. A particularly charming vintage Seamaster, presented in very nice condition with a desirable oversized 36.5mm case.
The absolute highlight of this example is its beautiful original two-tone dial, featuring a wonderfully even, flake-like patina that has developed naturally over the decades. The warm champagne tones, applied gold coloured hour markers and distinctive Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6 and 9 create a particularly attractive vintage appearance. The original gold coloured hands and elegant subsidiary seconds dial at 6 o'clock complete this beautiful 1950s design.
The 36.5mm gold plated Jumbo case remains in very nice overall condition, retaining its elegant proportions and beautifully defined lugs. With its larger case size, this example offers a particularly attractive presence on the wrist compared to many smaller vintage Omega models. The case shows some minor scratches and normal signs of wear consistent with its age, but remains very nicely preserved overall.
The watch retains its original Omega-signed crown and original hands, adding to its attractive vintage character. It is fitted with a beautiful new dark brown leather strap featuring a crocodile-style pattern and an Omega signed buckle, perfectly complementing the warm gold tones of the case and dial.
Inside is the reliable Omega calibre 491 automatic movement, a classic Swiss movement from the 1950s. The watch is running and functioning as may reasonably be expected from a vintage mechanical watch of this age.
