Dial and Hands
The well-preserved dial features a striking, vertically brushed gold-tone finish that interacts beautifully with the light. Applied indices with black inserts provide excellent contrast, complementing the applied Omega logo positioned prominently below the twelve o'clock marker. The dial text is crisply printed, showing no significant flaws, and a date display is neatly integrated at the three o'clock position. Sweeping across the dial, the original stick hands feature matching black inserts. Under magnification, the hands display minor oxidation and patina consistent with their age.

Case and Crystal
The gold-plated case displays honest wear commensurate with regular use over the decades. Moderate wear and visible plating loss can be seen along the lug edges and sharp corners. An integrated smooth bezel frames the dial, showing light scratches and minor plating wear. On the right side, the watch retains its signed Omega crown, which exhibits some plating wear on the knurling. The domed acrylic crystal is clear, presenting only minor surface scratches consistent with the age of the timepiece. Turning the watch over reveals a practical stainless steel caseback displaying minor surface scratches.

Movement
Inside this Genève beats the automatic Omega caliber 684. The movement displays a traditional copper-colored finish and maintains a clean appearance with no visible corrosion. The rotor shows minor handling marks, and the plates are engraved with the Omega Watch Co signature, Swiss origin, caliber number, and the serial number 35364761. Exhibiting remarkable accuracy and consistency, performing brilliantly for a vintage timepiece. The recorded timegrapher result is -14-16s/day.

Strap
The watch is fitted with a versatile black leather strap featuring contrast stitching. The strap shows light wear and secures comfortably on the wrist.

Condition
Good vintage condition. The watch presents a highly attractive, well-preserved dial alongside a case that carries honest wear. The gold-plated surfaces exhibit moderate wear, notably plating loss on the sharp corners, lug edges, smooth bezel, and crown knurling. The stainless steel caseback and acrylic crystal show minor surface scratches. The original hands display minor oxidation under close inspection. The clean automatic movement is running reliably and is supported by strong timegrapher results.

Dimensions
The case measures 22 mm in diameter (excluding the crown).

Remarks
This Omega Genève is a charming classic ladies' automatic from the early 1970s. The striking vertically brushed dial and the dependable caliber 684 make it a highly appealing and entirely wearable vintage timepiece.
