1948 OMEGA SUB SECONDS TEAR-DROP BUMPER CAL. 342 REF. 2402-1
Bumper movements are great fun to wear. The oscillating weight rotates 120° (unlike modern automatic movements which allow for a full 360° rotation) before bumping into a cushioned spring. The impact can be felt by the wearer and this gave rise to the bumper accolade.
An elegant, early automatic model with its original dial and attractive tear-drop lugs.
