Here is a fabulous, all original Omega Genève from 1968. The silver sunburst dial is in very fine condition, with a steel Omega logo and black lettering and barely any marks. It has steel bar hour markers with black contrast. The baton hands are in fair condition with the original black contrast, showing some wear on all the hands.

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 some overall wear on the face towards the lugs and on the left case side in particular. The stainless steel case back is in fine condition, with a brushed center and a sunburst pattern on the sloped rim and in particular one notable scratch. It carries the inscription “Waterproof”. The case does not appear to ever have been polished.

The original Omega steel bracelet is in very fine visual condition with light stretching. It is big enough for large wrists. Make sure the specific bracelet size listed in the details is not too small for your wrist as finding spare links for old bracelets is very difficult. The bracelet can be shortened by up to about 2cm simply by moving a spring bar in the clasp.

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 December 2025 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.
