Some watches are attractive. Some are rare. Very few are both.
This Omega Seamaster Ref. C2577-9SC from 1952 is one of those rare early pieces that stops you in your tracks. The dial has developed an extraordinary warm patina over the last 70 plus years, resembling the surface of crème brûlée with rich golden tones and subtle depth throughout. It is completely honest, completely natural and utterly captivating.
What elevates this example even further is the double signature. Beneath the Omega branding sits the name Türler, the prestigious Swiss retailer known for partnering with the very best manufacturers of the era. Double signed dials were produced in far smaller numbers and are highly sought after by collectors today. They represent not only rarity but a tangible link to the golden age of mid century Swiss watchmaking.
Inside sits the Omega calibre 354 bumper automatic movement. Early automatic movements like this use a semi-rotor system that “bumps” between springs rather than rotating fully. These movements are part of Omega’s early automatic history and add mechanical charm to an already characterful watch.
The 34mm steel case features strong, chunky lugs that give the watch more wrist presence than the dimensions might suggest. It wears beautifully and feels every bit the early 1950s sports dress watch it was designed to be.
