: Tks, CH

The design of the 2767 is a typical "brawny lugs" Seamaster of the 1950s, which was repeated in many variations. Omega quotes diameters without the crown.

However, a 30mm watch is a bit small to be an automatic until late in the 1950s. While there were ladies automatics (calibre 455), they were much smaller. The classic mens autos were all about 28mm.

Let us know what you see when you get the caseback off.
