Condition Report

Grade B – Good condition, with signs of use consistent with age.

The stainless-steel case presents scratches, rubbing and surface marks around the bezel, lugs and case back. The charcoal gray factory dial shows scattered spotting and colour variation, creating a beautiful patina and an individual vintage appearance. The applied markers and hands display age-related wear while remaining clearly distinguishable. The bracelet also shows surface scratches consistent with use. Please examine the photographs carefully, as they form an essential part of the condition description.

A complete service has been carried out. Water resistance has not been tested, and contact with water should therefore be avoided unless the watch is professionally pressure-tested and resealed.

Story & Heritage

This Omega Genève expresses the enduring appeal of a restrained mechanical wristwatch. Its round case, gently tapered lugs and uncluttered display allow proportion and detail to define its character, giving it an elegance that remains easy to appreciate today.

The charcoal gray factory dial is the centrepiece of this example. Its dark background contrasts with the silver-toned hands and applied markers, while the patina introduces warm, irregular accents across the surface. These traces of age give the watch a distinctive appearance that changes subtly with the light.

Inside, the manually wound Omega movement creates a direct connection between the watch and its wearer. Winding the original crown becomes a familiar ritual, supplying the energy that drives the hands and calendar—a small daily pleasure at the heart of owning a mechanical timepiece.

With its versatile 36 mm proportions, steel bracelet and completed service, this Genève Date offers an attractive combination of practicality and vintage charm. Its original charcoal gray dial and beautiful patina make it particularly appealing to collectors who value individual character.
