Omega - Genève - 565 - Unisex - 1966

Wristwatch brand Omega model Geneve automatic movement caliber 565, one of the most durable and renowned calibers from the prestigious Omega house, first introduced in the 1960s, specifically in 1966. It is precise and reliable, with a frequency of 19,800 vibrations per hour and a power reserve of 48 hours. This caliber was later used for both sports watches and elegant ones. The Omega 565 movement is made with high-quality materials, ensuring longevity and reliability.
In the specific case of this watch, its movement is housed in a prestigious case entirely made of 18 kt yellow gold. The hallmark is present inside the raised case back due to the automatic movement, with plastic glass, an unrestamped silver dial, a new but generic strap, a generic crown, and original Omega box and warranty from the time. The box, as you can see, is intact but has a stain inside at the bottom right due to the passage of time, and it comes complete with the original warranty documents from that period, which is not easy to find — I would say quite rare!
Men's watch, at least during that period it was like this, approximately 33/34 mm in diameter excluding the crown, with 16 mm lugs.
Functioning watch, recently fully serviced by an expert watchmaker; I attach the warranty receipt, inside the case. The revision is stamped on the watch.
The watch with a 3 o'clock crown is adjusted by the crown, which is gently pulled out; the first click sets the time, and the second sets the date.
The weight of the watch without the strap is about 33 grams. The movement and the plastic glass should weigh approximately 18 grams. With an 18 kt gold case of about 15 grams (estimate made by a watchmaker).
With this watch, you are not buying a simple timepiece, but a piece of Swiss watchmaking history!
