About this watch

Vintage Omega Automatic 10K Gold Filled Ref. F-6262 – Caliber 344 Bumper – 33mm Circa 1954 Classic mid-century Omega automatic featuring the collectible Caliber 344 17-jewel bumper movement. The movement serial dates the watch to approximately 1954. This U.S.-market Omega is housed in a 10K gold-filled Star Watch Case Co. case, reference F-6262, and features a warm champagne dial with applied hour markers, dauphine-style hands, and a subsidiary seconds dial at 6 o’clock. The watch retains the distinctive feel of Omega’s early automatic era, when the rotor moved back and forth between spring stops rather than rotating fully like a modern automatic. The dial shows attractive age-related patina, and the case has honest vintage wear consistent with its age. The movement is signed Omega Watch Co. Swiss, marked 17 jewels, and caliber 344. The watch is running. Service history is unknown, so it is being sold as a vintage mechanical watch that may benefit from future regulation or service. Details: Omega Automatic • Ref.
