    I've always been a fan of square or rectangular shape vintage Omega watches from the 1930s and the 1940s. But I will create a video on those in the near future. In this episode, I would like to introduce a beautiful oversized Omega bumper automatic under reference OT 3903 from the 1950s. Some collectors will refer to it as the cioccolatone, named by Italian because of its rounded square chocolate shape.
    After watching this video, please comment below with your opinion.
    I hope you'll enjoy this video as I continue to produce more of this kind of video.

    Very Nice Pieces! Wonder why today, Omega doesn't make an Rectagular or Square Pieces.

    Beautiful watch but I would be hesitant to own for reasons you have pointed out yourself, difficulty in sourcing replacement crystals.

      There is a GS crystal made specifically for this watch, so crystal replacement is not a concern for this one. But do avoid swimming or showering with this watch on.

    Great channel new subscriber here..
    I own a few Omega dress watches but I've never seen this model before.. Do you have one for sale? (18k gold) or anywhere one is for sale? Amazing I must have one 😍

      Sorry for the slow response. Took a few months off. But I am back to produce new content. This piece already sold on my site. But you should expect the date version to hit the site in the near future.

    so the rotor doesnt completely turn all the way around?

    • @TimelessHistoryChannel
      @TimelessHistoryChannel  Рік тому

      Bumper, so it hammers from left to right, but only wind in one direction. So it takes longer to charge up. Meaning you'll need more wrist movement in order to charge it faster.
