Here is a fabulous, all original Omega Genève from 1969. The silver sunburst dial has a steel Omega logo black lettering and is in excellent condition. It has steel bar hour markers with black contrast and lume dots at the outer ends, wider markers at the poles. There is a tiny mark close to the 4 o’clock hour marker and some marks on the 2 o’clock marker. The baton hands are in fine condition with the original black contrast and lume and a few marks visible under magnification. The steel framed window at 3 o’clock displays the date, which can be quick-set by repeatedly pulling the crown out to the outermost position. The quick-set function should only be used with the hour hand at the bottom half of the dial.

The stainless steel case with straight, elegant lugs and the original crown is in fine condition with some overall wear, most notably a deep nick on the right side just below the crown but also a few marks towards the lugs and on the left 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 a couple of long scratches and carries the inscription “Waterproof”. The case does not appear to ever have been polished.

The watch comes on an after market leather strap and buckle of good quality.

Inside the watch, Omega’s high grade 565 movement beats strongly and accurately to within about +-12 seconds per day. The watch was fully serviced in October 2024 and comes with a 12 month warranty on its proper mechanical functioning.

The wonderful dial and unpolished case matches with one of the best movements ever made to make this a watch that is easy to love. 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.
