Description from the seller
Brand: Omega
Model: Geneve
Reference Number: 166.041
Year of Production: Circa 1960s
Movement: The heart of this watch is the highly regarded Omega Calibre 565, a 24-jewel automatic movement known for its reliability and robust construction. The movement features a quick-set date function. The watch is described as running and keeping accurate time.
Case: The case is crafted from solid stainless steel, as indicated by the "Acier Inoxydable" engraving on the case back. The case shows signs of honest wear consistent with its age, including fine hairline scratches and minor surface marks, which attest to its history and use. The case back is neatly engraved with the reference number, brand, and material.
Dial: The watch features a beautiful, deep navy blue (or sapphire blue) dial. The color is rich and likely presents different shades under various lighting conditions. The dial features applied metal hour markers and dauphine-style hands, offering excellent legibility. The dial text clearly states "Omega Geneve" and "Automatic."
Crystal: The watch is fitted with a plexiglass (or possibly mineral) crystal. The crystal may show light scratches commensurate with age, which are often polishable. There are no visible cracks.
Functionality: This is a time-only watch with a central sweep seconds hand and a date window at the 3 o'clock position.
