Vintage Omega Genève Ref. 166.0173 – Original Crystal – Elegant Brushed Dial Up for auction is a timeless classic from the 1970s: the Omega Genève Reference 166.0173. This particular piece captures the essence of vintage Omega elegance, blending a bold presence with sophisticated details. Key Highlights: • The Dial: The standout feature of this watch is its stunning vertically brushed silver dial. It catches the light beautifully, providing a depth and texture that modern watches rarely replicate. • Originality: It features its original Omega-signed acrylic crystal, with the tiny, authentic Ω logo etched in the center—a detail highly prized by collectors. • Condition & Character: While this watch is decades old and shows some graceful signs of aging (gentle patina that adds to its vintage soul), it remains in excellent overall aesthetic condition. It has aged like a fine wine, maintaining its sharp lines and "sun-kissed" vintage charm. • Case: The gold-plated case provides a warm, luxurious feel on the wrist, showing well-preserved edges for its age. • Bracelet: The watch comes fitted on a matching gold-tone aftermarket bracelet that complements the integrated lug design perfectly.
