Presented for auction by Second Vintage

This elegant Omega Genève represents a quintessential example of 1970s dress watch design, offering a sophisticated geometric silhouette that transitions seamlessly from formal to everyday wear. Characterized by its balanced square case with softly rounded corners and a minimalist Roman numeral dial, this timepiece captures the refined aesthetic of its era. The watch remains a testament to Omega's dedication to producing versatile, high-quality mechanical watches during a period of shifting horological trends.

Brand: Omega  
Model: Genève  
Reference Number: 5110415  
Serial Number: 38820116  
Movement: Manual winding, Caliber 625, 17 Jewels  
Dial: Gold-tone with vertical brushed texture and black painted Roman numerals, exceptionally clean condition  
Case Size: 27 mm (excluding the crown)  
Case Material: Gold-plated (20 microns) with stainless steel caseback  
Production Year: 1974  
Condition: Excellent vintage condition with an outstanding dial and honest case wear

Dial and Hands  
The dial is a striking gold-tone canvas featuring a delicate, subtle vertical brushing that catches the light beautifully. It is elegantly appointed with crisp, black painted Roman numeral indices that provide excellent contrast and legibility. The typography is sharp and fully intact, including the Omega logo and lettering below twelve o'clock, and the Genève script above six o'clock. The dial is in exceptionally clean condition, showing no visible spotting, moisture marks, or significant surface damage, presenting a remarkably fresh appearance. The time is indicated by a pair of slender, black painted hands that perfectly complement the formal nature of the Roman indices, remaining free of oxidation or paint loss.

Case and Crystal  
The 27 mm square case features softly rounded edges and is finished in 20-micron gold plating, paired with a stainless steel snap-on caseback. The caseback displays a sharply defined brushed central section framed by polished sloping edges. The case exhibits honest signs of vintage wear, with visible tarnish and plating wear localized primarily along the right flank near the crown, consistent with decades of manual winding and use. The watch retains its original, correctly proportioned Omega-signed fluted crown. A flat acrylic crystal protects the dial, showing only faint, superficial handling marks that do not detract from the visual appeal of the watch.

Movement  
Powering this elegant timepiece is the Omega Caliber 625, a reliable and compact manual-winding movement. The copper-colored plates and bridges are cleanly finished and clearly stamped with the Omega nomenclature, Swiss origin, and 17 jewels designation. The movement serial number 38820116 is clearly visible adjacent to the balance wheel, authenticating its 1974 production. Exhibiting remarkable accuracy and consistency, performing brilliantly for a vintage timepiece. The timegrapher results indicate a strong performance of +2 to +3 s/d with strong amplitude.

Strap  
The watch is fitted with a handsome dark brown textured leather strap that complements the gold tones of the case and dial. The inner lining of the strap is stamped with the Omega name and logo. It is secured by a gold-tone pin buckle featuring an applied, prominent Omega symbol.

Condition  
This timepiece is in excellent vintage condition. The dial is exceptionally well-preserved, standing out as the highlight of the watch with its flawless presentation. The gold-plated case shows expected, honest wear and localized tarnish, particularly around the crown area, while the stainless steel caseback remains crisp. The movement is remarkably clean and running with outstanding precision.

Dimensions  
27 mm (excluding the crown).

Remarks  
A highly attractive and wearable vintage Omega that offers a distinct alternative to traditional round dress watches. The combination of the brushed gold dial, Roman numerals, and the ultra-slim profile makes it a compelling choice for collectors seeking vintage elegance with reliable mechanical performance.

History  
The Genève line was introduced by Omega in the mid-20th century as a tribute to its workshops in the Canton of Geneva, eventually evolving into a versatile collection that housed a wide array of designs. By the 1970s, the Genève collection became Omega's platform for exploring diverse case shapes and dial configurations, catering to a younger, style-conscious demographic. Watches from this era of the Genève line are celebrated today for their accessible entry into vintage Omega ownership, offering the brand's legendary in-house movements encased in distinctive, period-defining designs.
