The Collector’s Choice This is not your standard vintage Omega. The Reference 131.5016 is a connoisseur’s dress watch, defined by its ultra-slim profile and a rare vertical linen-textured dial. While many Genève models of this era were gold-plated, this specimen is crafted from solid 9ct yellow gold, offering a perfect marriage of mid-century horology and precious metal investment. At the heart of this timepiece is the Omega Calibre 621, a high-grade, ultra-thin manual wind movement. This caliber was engineered specifically for elegance, allowing the watch to sit remarkably flat against the wrist—the hallmark of a true "tuxedo" watch. Highlights & Investment Value • The Dial: A spectacular original champagne "Linen" dial. The vertical brushing creates a sophisticated texture that dances in the light, far more desirable than the standard flat dials found on most vintage pieces. • The Gold Case: Solid 9ct Yellow Gold. The case remains sharp with clear, deep hallmarks on the interior back and lugs. • Intrinsic Value: The watch has a total weight of 38g. With approximately 10g of solid 9ct gold in the case, the scrap/melt value alone (at current 2026 rates of ~£42/g) sits at roughly £420. This provides the collector with a rock-solid floor for their investment. • The Movement: The Cal. 621 is running perfectly and winding smoothly via the original Omega-signed crown. • The Crown: Original Gold Omega stamped crown Technical Specifications: • Brand: Omega • Model: Genève • Reference Number: 131.5016 • Movement: Manual Wind, Calibre 621 (Renowned ultra-thin movement) • Case Material: Solid 9ct Yellow Gold (Hallmarked) • Weight: Total weight 38g (approx. 10g gold content) • Crown: Original Omega signed gold crown • Dial: Original champagne linen/brushed dial with baton indices • Strap: Aftermarket brown lizard-grain leather strap • Condition: Excellent vintage condition.
