Omega Genève Ref. 166.0188 – A Striking 1970s Design with a Malachite-Inspired Dial Here we have a particularly distinctive Omega Genève Ref. 166.0188, a 1970s automatic Day-Date model distinguished by its characteristic cushion-shaped case and exceptionally eye-catching green dial. The real highlight is the malachite-inspired dial, with its rich green colour and flowing horizontal pattern giving it remarkable depth and movement. Depending on the light, the dial shifts between deeper and brighter shades of green, producing an almost natural-stone appearance and a highly individual character. Combined with the applied hour markers and gold-tone hands, it offers a striking contrast that is difficult to overlook on the wrist. The cushion-shaped stainless-steel case, signed Omega crown and integrated-style steel bracelet complete the distinctive 1970s aesthetic. Powered by the automatic Omega Calibre 1022, the watch offers both day and date displays at 3 o’clock, adding practical functionality to an otherwise strongly design-driven timepiece. This is an unusual opportunity for collectors looking beyond conventional vintage Omega dials. The combination of the TV-style cushion case, automatic Day-Date movement and striking malachite-inspired green dial gives this Genève a personality of its own.
