Omega 354 Description

The Omega 354 is a highly regarded “bumper” automatic from the early 1950s. The hammer-like rotor bumps off springs to wind the watch. This caliber was famously used as the chronometer-grade engine in the very first Omega Constellation models and also in early Seamasters. Beating at 19,800 bph, it represents a pivotal and robust movement from Omega’s first generation of automatics with sweep seconds.
