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 early 1970s Geneve model doesn’t disappoint, measuring in at only 18mm in diameter and 24mm from lug to lug, it’s super petite so good for a smaller wrist. The stainless steel case is in good shape with only a few light scuffs here and there, the steel back pops in. The minimalist silver dial is slightly aged and has stick markers, Omega logo and black sword-shaped hands, all under a new acrylic crystal. The crown is signed with the logo and winds up the movement. The watch is powered by a manual wind calibre 485 movement with 17 jewels and keeps good time. The serial number on the inside of the case is 511.0384. The bracelet has been replaced with a black leather bracelet with a steel buckle and will fit a wrist of about 6.5” or 16.5cm approximately. The watch comes without the original box and papers, but a gift box will be provided. Water-resistance is not guaranteed so please do not use it near water.
