Condition Report

The watch is offered in Grade B condition, displaying visible signs of wear and ageing consistent with its vintage character. The stainless-steel case, case back, bracelet and clasp present scratches, scuffs and surface marks from normal previous use. More pronounced scratches are visible on the clasp.

The rare original blue dial retains its attractive colour but shows substantial natural ageing. Patina, spotting, surface deterioration and areas of finish loss are visible, particularly around several applied hour markers and across parts of the dial. The hands and indexes also display age-related wear. These characteristics are clearly visible in the photographs and form an important part of the watch’s authentic vintage appearance.

The original Omega-signed acrylic crystal presents scratches and age-related surface traces. The original crown, bracelet and signed clasp remain fitted to the watch.

The automatic movement is functioning at the time of listing, and the date function is operational. As with any vintage mechanical watch, daily accuracy may vary. No recent service history is available, and future performance cannot be guaranteed.

Water resistance has not been tested; therefore, contact with water should be avoided. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an essential part of the condition description.

Story & Heritage

The Omega Genève collection was created to unite dependable Swiss mechanical watchmaking with clean, versatile design. Named after the city historically associated with fine watchmaking, the line became one of Omega’s most varied families during the 1960s and 1970s.

As tastes evolved, traditional round dress watches gradually gave way to bolder cases and integrated bracelet designs. This example captures that transition perfectly: its broad stainless-steel case and original bracelet give it a confident sporting presence, while the restrained baton indexes and carefully framed date aperture preserve the refinement expected from Omega.

Blue dials were especially expressive during this period and have become increasingly sought after by vintage collectors. On this watch, the factory-original blue surface has developed pronounced patina and areas of deterioration, creating an appearance shaped entirely by time. Its honest ageing gives each detail an individuality that a restored dial could not reproduce.

With its original blue dial, signed acrylic crystal, original crown, original bracelet and traditional Omega automatic movement, this Genève represents an authentic survivor from one of the most creative decades in Swiss watch design.
