I bought this vintage Omega on a gun forum many, many years ago. It has been running like clockwork and is 1 of my most accurate watches all these years. I love it. My research indicates that it might be a product of the 50’s or 60’s. Amazing for a watch this age. I would love to find more info on the piece. Any help is really appreciated.

I believe that’s a fat lug Seamaster from the 60’s. Best thing to do, if you want to gather more info is to open the caseback. The reference number will be on the case, assuming the caseback is original to the watch. You’ll also get the serial number which you can use to date the watch

Post the pic on Omegaforums vintage. They’ll be able to tell you if that dial is refinished or original

Looks like a Jumbo Bumper early-mid 50's. Maybe a caliber 351? Nice

Here is the case back. I believe it is original to the watch. I replaced the band a while back.

The reference number is on the inside of the caseback.

I think they stopped using the dauphine hands in 1960 or 62.
Watch appears to be from the 50's.

I have a similar model that was my dad's just in all steel. Mine I believe is 1955 if that helps!
