Here is a wonderful, all original Omega Genève from 1969. The silver sunburst dial is in very fine condition, with a steel Omega logo and barely any visible marks. It has faceted steel hour markers with black central contrast and lume dots at the outer ends. The steel baton hour and minute hands with the original black contrast and lume intact albeit degraded are in fine condition.

The stainless steel watch case is in fine condition, with the original crown and embedded lugs. The watch face continues the sunburst pattern of the dial and shows some overall wear, perhaps most prominent on the right case side towards the bottom right lug. The case sides have a mirror polished finish and are in fine condition with a small dent and deep scuff on the left side and a few marks and a deeper nick on the right side. The stainless steel case back has a plain brushed surface with the inscription “Waterproof” and is in fine condition with a few scratches and marks. The case does not appear to ever have been polished.

The original Milanese bracelet is in very fine condition with little stretching and wear, apart from some marks on the double fold clasp. 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 601 movement beats strongly and accurately to within about +-12 seconds per day. The watch was fully serviced in December 2024 and comes with a 12 month warranty on its proper mechanical functioning.

The timeless and classic design makes this watch look great on the wrist. Matched with Omega’s fantastic engineering of that time, it will not only serve you well as part of a regular rotation, it is also a great watch for formal occasions.

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.
