Omega - Genève - 168.035 - Unisex - 1968

Offered for sale is a splendid Omega Genève Admiralty “Ancoretta” ref. 165.038, one of the most original and sought-after models from Omega’s late-1960s production. Recognizable by the iconic anchor on the dial and the orange seconds hand, this specimen combines a timeless sporty design with high-level mechanicals.

The 35 mm stainless steel case (about 36 mm with crown) is in excellent condition and retains sharp lines. The argenté dial with sunburst finish is magnificently preserved and pairs perfectly with the orange NATO strap, chosen in harmony with the seconds hand. The strap is completed by an aftermarket Omega-logoed buckle.

The real strength of this specimen is the movement: while most Admiralty “Ancoretta” watches are equipped with a manual-wind caliber, this rare version houses the prestigious Omega caliber 552 automatic, the same famous movement used in numerous Seamasters of the era. Considered one of the best automatic calibers ever produced by Omega, it is still appreciated today for reliability, precision, and robustness.

The watch has just been serviced, is in perfect working order, and ready to wear. Overall condition is excellent, with a well-preserved case, a clean dial, and a movement in splendid condition.

A rare and sought-after vintage Omega, capable of standing out for personality, build quality, and collectible value. A piece with authentic charm, ideal for both the collector and anyone who wants to wear daily an iconic timepiece from the great Omega tradition.
