The Seamaster caliber 352 a collectors view..
Hello everyone.... We all collect differently. I was always drawn to Omega's Seamaster. The first generation bumper Seamasters were introduced in 1948 using a caliber 28.10 bumper movement family. In 1949 Omega moved over to the 3 digit caliber reference ...

Hi Bill, hi fellows, here is my contribution to this thread, a beautiful Cal 352 Seamaster chronometer Ref 2520 with a Cloisonne dial depicting south America. These chronometers with cloisonne enamel dials become exeedingly rare.... here is the movement A...
great post Bill, very informative as usual and excellent pics
and mac, interestingly i sent a link of a cloisonne Australia dial to AndrewD. what can you tell us about the dials. are they original or aftermarket? best Graham
It is hard to tell...
Hi Graham, as for authenticity of cloisonne dials it is hard to tell... it is much easier to spot a redial of a silvered or black dial than an aftermarket cloisonne dial... best way would be a request at Omega/Bienne to "ask the report"... kind rega...

Bill, thank you for this fabulous and insightful
report about one of the nicest watch families Omega ever produced. Here's a shot of my bumper: Alas, it doesn't get much wrist-time lately. Thanks, Valentin...
Excellent post. A classic!
A huge amount of useful information all in one place. Thanks Bill! Interesting that the promotional material shows not a Seamaster, but a Globemaster (no-name Constellation for the US market), which of course had the cal. 352. Although not a Seamaster, my...
Why do you think...
Hi Gator, Why do you think the Globemaster has a Cal. 352 in it? Could not find any hint in the description of the AD - it could also be a Cal 354 with chronometer rating... Do you have other sources of knowledge besides the shown AD? regards Erich
Incog Connies...
Erich, Incognito Constellations or 'Globemasters' were available with both calibers 352 and 354 (the latter probably somewhat cheaper to produce for Bienne). This specimen from 1952 is equipped with the 352 engine. cheers, Ben....
I knew...
Hi Ben, I knew about the fact that different movements were used for the Globemaster as it was the same for the early Connies. My response was meant for Gator who showed us a printed AD - and there was not a single word in the printed description about wh...
how about these for incognito...
how about these for incognito Connies. a marked Globemaster which was checked by Omega and found to be 100% original. sorry pics arent very good. Graham...
The (rotor) movement
Graham, is definitely Swiss (cal. 501?) but the rest of the watch is for a large part organised by Norman Morris, after 1955. see this link: http://www.snapdrive.net/files/476678/Globemasterpost.pdf cheers, Ben.
thanks for that link Ben,...
thanks for that link Ben, very informative. i must admit i thought it was the other way around as i think most people do. mine was a 501 non chronometer model, exactly the same as the bottom left pic on the link. its a very rare watch to find in the UK ev...
Sorry I didn't get a chance to reply yesterday...
... as I was out of town. Most Americans then (as now) didn't care which movement was in a watch, just so long is was accurate, it worked properly and had the necessary brand recognition. Which Omega certainly had back then. I've never seen a US-market Om...
I suppose
the vertical line of the handwound 30T2Rg is incorporated in the schematic drawing for reason of being the 'mother' of Omega's Rg fine-regulator system? Interesting presentation and nice collection!
Yes, plus the deluxe finish winding wheels and click !
HI Ben Exactly, Omega took the finishing from the 30T2Rg for the 28.10 JUB and the 30.10 JUB sadly only the deluxe finish of the winding wheels. Then with the 333, 343, 352 bumpers they also included the Omega system. Best Bill
Alas, this is not..
not technically a chronometre - at 37mm diameter however still a serious fat boy. Ref. 2482-1 with cal. 332 inside. * * * (for a long long time I was too stupid computerwise to upload any pictures, but finally it seems to come together - hip hip hurrah......
I like these "elephants"
Hi Ben, nice watch! I like these "elephants" - compared with other rather small Omega watches of that aera! I have a similar one 38mm in rose/pink gold. best Erich

Cal 352
Hi I recently bought cal 352 Seamaster ref 2577 . The omega site only shows cal 354 in this case reference (2577) . I am wondering why? Regards
Hello!
Hi Please post pics of your Seamaster! The Omeha database is not all knowing.... The bumper chronometre Seamasters are not common in comparison to Omeha std Seamasters and a 352. Even more so ... Just about all the steel 352 I have seen have been in 2577 ...

Great collection and post Bill
It is the seamaster that atracted me into vintage watches. They are beautiful and not as expensive as other iconic watches. Oh! and they are built like a tank Best. René
