Our Take
For more than 170 years Omega has been at the forefront of exploration, whether to the moon or the depths of the ocean, they have been there. This great example of the classic MegaQuartz 1977 Geneve model doesn’t disappoint, measuring 31mm in diameter and 34mm from lug to lug, a good size for a lady who prefers a chunkier watch. The brush finished stainless steel case is in good shape with only a few light scuffs here and there, the steel back is embossed with the logo and screws in. The circular silver dial with luminous baton markers, date at 3 o’clock and red Omega logo at 12 o’clock, are all kept under the original acrylic crystal, the logo in the centre is still evident, and there are a few light scratches from use, but this can only be seen when held to the side. The push-pull crown has a button in the centre and works a bit differently adding to the uniqueness of the watch. It’s powered by a 32 KHz quartz movement, calibre 1320 with 15 Jewels and keeps time as it should. The serial number on the inside of the case is 596.0003 and 796.0805. The original bracelet is intact and in good condition, s/n, 5917/222, and will fit a wrist of about 7” or 17.5cm approximately. The watch comes with an original Omega travel box but no papers. Water resistance is not guaranteed so please do not use it near water.
