A refined mid-century wristwatch from Omega, the Ref. 2657-1 speaks to the restrained design language of 1950. Its form reflects the era’s focus on balanced proportions and practical elegance, with surfaces and details crafted for everyday wear. Powering the watch is the Cal. 351 bumper automatic, a movement type that illustrates Omega’s mechanical ingenuity in self-winding systems before the widespread adoption of modern rotor automatics. For a contemporary collector, the piece offers a direct link to traditional watchmaking—appealing for its historical context, mechanical character, and period-specific aesthetic.
