A true standout from Omega’s celebrated Genève line, this reference 131 022 from 1969 perfectly captures the era’s transition into bold, modern design while retaining classic Swiss craftsmanship. Its crisp, geometric case, immaculate sunburst dial, and the revered caliber 601 movement make this watch both a style statement and a collectible piece of horological history. If you’re seeking a vintage Omega with undeniable presence, genuine 1960s pedigree, and investment-grade condition, this Genève is a definitive choice. 

Brand: Omega  
Model: Genève  
Reference Number: 131 022  
Serial Number: 31684067

Condition: Excellent vintage condition – razor-sharp case edges, original dial with near-perfect finish, movement is clean and currently running within vintage tolerances  

Dial and Hands  
The factory-original silver sunburst dial is in glowing condition, showcasing striking vertical grain and vivid reflectivity. All graphics, including the stepped “Genève” and “Swiss Made” markings, are sharp and unaltered. The black and polished baton hour markers and slender stick hands are original, displaying Omega’s distinct 1960s design ethos.

Case and Crystal  
The square “TV” case exemplifies the late-1960s push into bold geometric shapes. Measuring a wearable 31mm excluding crown, its thick lugs and crisp, unpolished case lines make it stand out on the wrist. The stainless steel retains original brushing and sharp chamfers throughout, rarely seen on watches of this age. Acrylic crystal is clean and clear with only the lightest signs of wear.

Movement  
The revered, in-house Omega caliber 601 is visible in superb condition. This manual-wind movement, considered one of the sturdy workhorses of its era, is bright and corrosion-free, with correct Omega and serial engravings. The watch is currently running and keeping time within vintage standards.

Strap  
Fitted with a new, burgundy faux-crocodile leather strap and stainless steel pin buckle for a refined period-correct look that completes its mid-century personality.

Condition  
Truly exceptional vintage condition. The unpolished case exhibits minimal wear, dial is immaculate save for the faintest patina, and the movement appears meticulously preserved. Running strong and keeping time within vintage tolerances.

Dimensions  
Case diameter: 31mm (excluding crown)  
Lug-to-lug: about 36mm  
Thickness: 8.5mm  
Lug width: 18mm

Remarks  
A particularly pristine and all-original example of an Omega Genève 131 022, produced in 1969—a year of innovation and bold new design directions for Omega. Its remarkable preservation and rare early TV-case shape position this as a collector’s highlight with both aesthetic and investment appeal.

History  
Launched in the postwar boom but redefined in the late 1960s, the Omega Genève line became the benchmark for elegant, modern dress watches. The 131 022 was introduced at the end of the decade, encapsulating Omega’s shift toward avant-garde forms and minimalism. With its robust Caliber 601 and enduring, understated style, the Genève remains a sought-after icon among vintage aficionados, and this 1969 example is a testament to Omega’s peak innovation and enduring legacy.
