Legendary Omega Bumper Automatic Movement

Beating at the core of this watch is an early Swiss hammer bumper automatic movement. Before full 360-degree rotor mechanisms became standard across the industry, bumper calibers utilized an oscillating weighted mass that bounced between two buffer springs. This signature movement provides an unmistakable tactile feel on the wrist that vintage watch enthusiasts cherish.
