Here is a beautiful, all original Omega Genève from 1968. The silver sunburst dial is in very fine condition, with a steel Omega logo and steel bar hour markers with black contrast and lume dots at the outer ends. Tiny marks can be seen on some of the hour markers under magnification. The baton hands are in fine condition with the original black contrast, showing slight corrosion on the minute hand under close inspection.

The stainless steel C-shaped case with embedded lugs and the original crown is in fine condition, with a brushed face and polished sides. It shows light overall wear on the face towards the lugs, perhaps most prominent at the top left and right bottom lugs. There are also some marks on both case sides, in particular on the upper right case side. The stainless steel case back is in fine condition, with a brushed center and a sunburst pattern on the sloped rim. It has a few marks and scratches and carries the inscription “Waterproof”. The case does not appear to ever have been polished.

Inside the watch, Omega’s high grade 552 movement beats strongly and accurately to within about +-12 seconds per day. The watch was fully serviced in January 2024 and comes with a 12 month warranty on its proper mechanical functioning.

The wonderful dial and overall great condition of this watch matched with one of the best movements ever made makes it easy to love and wear. It sits very nicely on the wrist and it will serve you well for many years to come.

Our watches are delivered in a luxury wooden watch box, fully serviced with a 12 month warranty that covers the mechanical functioning of the watch under normal use. We offer 14 days full return rights and are very proud of our reputation for outstanding customer satisfaction.

NB! Note that we are based in Switzerland and that the buyer is responsible for any import fees their country may impose on a purchase from abroad. Ask us if you have any questions.
