A Beautiful Omega Geneve 136.0049 With a Stunning Silver Brushed Satin Dial and Date Aperture, Dated to c.1972 and in Fantastic Preowned Condition.

Omega first began applying "Genève" to the dials of their dressier 30mm watches in 1953. This was in honour of their 30mm calibre that set records at the Geneva Observatory. By 1967 the name began to be applied to models throughout Omega's range. 

The Geneve is the perfect entry-level vintage Swiss watch, many variations of the model were produced from the early 1960s up until the early 1980s, united by their simple 3 hand designs, amalgamating into a stylish and wearable collection of which this is a really nice example.

What’s On Offer 

The silver brushed satin dial on this immaculate Omega Geneve really is the jewel in its crown. The dial also boasts applied baton hour markers with black inserts with coordinating pencil hands. The hour plots are also tipped with lume, for visibility in low light, there are also luminous inserts on the hands. A date aperture at 3 o'clock completes the dial which is encapsulated underneath Omega signed plexi and framed by a stainless steel tonneau-shaped case with an Omega signed crown. There are minor signs of light wear to the case, but nothing of any concern, certainly for a watch of this vintage. The watch is paired with a black leather strap with an original Omega pin buckle. Given this watch hails from the 1970s, it is remarkably well preserved and with its classic design and timeless styling, it's a beautiful vintage timepiece from one of the world's most iconic watchmakers. This watch has recently had a light clean and a full service, so it is running well and keeps good time, and it looks great!
