Description from the seller
Omega – Genève Meister – Automatic – Cal. 565 – Ref. 166.070 – Men – 1960–1969
Automatic – Stainless Steel – Meister Double-Signed Dial
Omega Genève Meister – Automatic – Calibre 565 – Circa Late 1960s
This elegant vintage Omega Genève is a fine example of classic Swiss watchmaking from the late 1960s, featuring the distinctive Meister double-signed dial.
The Meister signature is associated with the prestigious Swiss jeweller and watch retailer Meister. During this period, selected Omega watches were retailed with an additional retailer's signature on the dial, making these examples particularly interesting to collectors of vintage Omega timepieces.
The attractive silver-toned dial features a subtle sunburst finish, applied baton hour markers with contrasting dark accents, elegant hands, a central seconds hand and a date display positioned at 3 o'clock.
The dial bears the applied Omega logo together with the Omega Automatic, Meister and Genève signatures.
The stainless steel case features classic straight lugs and a polished bezel, giving the watch an elegant and timeless appearance.
Movement
The watch is fitted with an Omega calibre 565 Swiss automatic mechanical movement, part of Omega's respected 500-series movements.
This movement features automatic winding and a date complication, including a quick-set date mechanism.
The movement is signed OMEGA WATCH Co SWISS and displays the characteristic copper-coloured finish associated with Omega movements of this period.
Photographs of the movement and inside case back are included.
Historical Background
The Omega Genève collection became an important part of Omega's range during the 1960s, offering reliable Swiss mechanical movements combined with elegant and understated designs.
The additional Meister retailer signature adds historical interest, reflecting Omega's relationship with selected Swiss jewellery and watch retailers.
