Description from the seller
Offered in this auction by Second Vintage
This classic Omega Genève features a distinctive square case and a highly attractive vertically brushed silver dial. The applied indices with contrasting black inserts give this 1970s timepiece a sharp, graphic presence on the wrist, offering a handsome variation from traditional round models.
Brand: Omega
Model: Genève
Movement: Mechanical
Dial: Vertically brushed silver with applied gold-tone indices
Case Size: 34mm (excluding the crown)
Case Material: Gold-tone, stainless steel caseback
Production Year: 1970s
Condition: Good vintage condition. Timegrapher: +8+10s/day, performing remarkably well.
Dial and Hands
The well-preserved silver dial displays an attractive vertical brushed texture. It features an applied gold-tone Omega logo alongside applied gold-tone stick indices with black inserts, perfectly matched by crisp black printing for the text and minute track. No significant staining or damage is visible on the dial surface. The gold-tone stick hands, also detailed with black inserts, show visible oxidation and corrosion on the central pinion, along with minor surface aging.
Case and Crystal
The square or cushion-shaped gold-tone case presents honest wear consistent with age, showing visible scratches and minor dings on the flanks and lugs. There is some plating wear and softening on the lug edges. The brushed stainless steel caseback exhibits minor surface scratches. A raised, domed acrylic crystal protects the dial, bearing minor surface scratches and dust visible under harsh lighting. The case is fitted with a gold-tone knurled crown, clearly signed with the Omega logo.
Movement
The watch is powered by a mechanical movement. The timegrapher records +8+10s/day. Exhibiting remarkable accuracy and consistency, performing brilliantly for a vintage timepiece.
Strap
The watch is paired with a black leather strap featuring a crocodile or alligator pattern and a gold-tone unsigned buckle. It shows light wear and creasing from use, remaining in wearable condition.
Condition
Good vintage condition. The case shows honest wear with visible scratches, minor dings, and plating wear on the lug edges. The dial remains exceptionally well-preserved, while the hands display noticeable oxidation and corrosion at the center. The domed acrylic crystal has minor surface scratches. Supported by the recorded timegrapher result, the movement is performing very strongly.
Dimensions
The case measures 34mm (excluding the crown).
Remarks
This classic vintage Omega Genève in a square case offers a compelling alternative to standard round profiles. The distinctive cushion geometry and beautiful brushed dial texture provide strong visual character for the dedicated collector.
History
The Omega Genève line was introduced to celebrate the brand's stringent manufacturing standards and grew to become a highly successful collection through the 1960s and 1970s. During a period of rapid design evolution, Omega expanded the Genève family to include square and cushion-shaped cases, offering a striking alternative to traditional profiles that reflected the shifting aesthetic preferences of the decade.
