AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

【Description】

The OMEGA Genève is a line built from only the essentials: hours, minutes, seconds, and date. This example pairs a silver dial with bar hour markers and baton hands, each with a black line, so the time can be read at a glance. At 12 o'clock are a raised Ω logo and "OMEGA AUTOMATIC," with "Genève" at 6 o'clock.

The case is Stainless Steel, with a shape that widens toward the lugs. Its modest 34mm case width fits easily under a shirt cuff and suits both business and casual attire.

It is powered by OMEGA's Cal.565 automatic movement, which winds the mainspring with the motion of the wrist. The framed date window at 3 o'clock shows the date for everyday use. The crystal is a domed acrylic crystal, and the end of the crown bears an Ω logo.

The bracelet is a finely woven Stainless Steel mesh that follows the wrist. The clasp cover bears an Ω logo, with OMEGA and STAINLESS STEEL engraved on the inside. The length is adjusted with a perforated sliding section.

This Cal.565 Genève, produced in the late 1960s, comes with a red box bearing the OMEGA logo.
