Old Seamaster

Anyone have an idea what year(s) this Seamaster might date to?

Not an "expert" but have owned a few of these early Omegas with the automatic "bumper" movements (likely a cal. 351,352 or 354) dating back to the early to mid 1950's. Have a watchmaker up your watch (very simple with the right tools and knowledge) and The case back will have a reference number and the movement will have an Omega serial number and movement caliber prominently marked. I'd' guess your serial number is in the 12 mil to 14mil range which would put your watch around 1954-1956.

These old Omegas are very sophisticated vintage watches that are surprisingly accurate when properly serviced and maintained...currently very undervalued too. IMHO. Nice piece!
Here is my18k Omega "bumper automatic" with a caliber 351 dating to 1951 that keeps "chronometer time"

Coat hanger "S" so it's pre 1963
