Omega Genève Automatic “Grey Dial” – Cal. 1481 – Ref. 166.0099 – Vintage 1970s – PRX Style

The Omega Genève Automatic Ref. 166.0099 is a distinctive example of Omega’s innovative 1970s watchmaking, combining traditional Swiss mechanical craftsmanship with the bold integrated-bracelet design that defined the era. Its angular stainless-steel case and geometric styling offer a striking resemblance to the vintage sports-watch aesthetic popularized by models such as the Tissot PRX.

Powered by the Omega Calibre 1481 automatic movement, this example features an attractive professionally repainted dark grey dial, complemented by applied silver-tone baton indexes and a framed date window. The broad brushed stainless-steel case and matching bracelet create a cohesive retro appearance, making this watch an excellent choice for collectors who appreciate distinctive 1970s Omega designs.

Important Photo & Color Note: High-resolution images may exaggerate minor imperfections not visible to the naked eye. Photographs were taken using professional camera equipment and controlled lighting; therefore, the dial, case, and bracelet may appear slightly darker, brighter, or different in tone depending on ambient lighting, direct sunlight, viewing angle, and screen settings.

Condition

Presented in very good vintage condition. The stainless-steel case retains its distinctive 1970s angular architecture, featuring attractive brushed surfaces and strong geometric lines.

The dial has been professionally repainted in dark grey and should not be considered an original factory-finish dial. Its elegant grey color creates a beautiful contrast with the applied silver-tone indexes and stainless-steel bracelet.

The matching stainless-steel bracelet complements the case beautifully, preserving the cohesive integrated-style appearance of this vintage Omega Genève.

Important Crown & Date Adjustment Note: The crown is intentionally positioned slightly away from the case in the photographs because this Omega Calibre 1481 features a quick-set date mechanism operated by pressing the crown. The crown is pulled outward to its date-adjustment position, and pressing it inward advances the date. This explains the visible gap between the crown and the case in the photographs and is not an indication of a missing or incorrectly fitted component.

Recently serviced and running well. The quick-set date function works properly.
