Omega

Dear All, I have been enjoying the simple design of this 1960’s Omega Geneve over the last few months. I understand that it was a bit of a ‘workhorse’ model in its day, but I think Omega were very good at this type of watch. I am new to these historical p...

Dear fellow Dragon, Do you mean you have an Omega from our birth year? Could you post photos if you haven't before? When I came across this Omega I had hoped that it might be from my birth year and was (only slightly) disappointed when I worked out it was... 

You already saw my ' 64 Omega... I'm quite sure, but if you didn't.. Here it is: Best. Nicolas...  

. . . it looks to be in excellent condition, and your wrist shots portray how well a simple dial design can appear in a watch that today would be considered undersized . . . cordially, Art

Thanks Art, The dial is in good condition. The case appears to have had a not particularly professional polish, although this is not very obvious except on close inspection. I don’t know if this is something that can be repaired with a re-polish or not. I... 

It is a lovely watch and it looks very well restored. where did you have yours restored, Omega, Switzerland or watchmaker? I have one as well (ultrathin) from the 60ties ingold. Used to be my grandads. I left it at the bank vault but next time I go Ill ge... 

Hi Christian, I wish I knew more about this watch, but I don't. I found it unexpectedly a few months ago in an antique shop that specialised more in furniture than anything else. I had it cleaned and lubricated and my watchmaker said the movement looked h... 

Hi Andrew Great watch. The Geneve line in the late 50s it was Omega top line of watches. In the late 60s Omega change the direction and made the Geneve line the "low" cost entry point. Omega's target was the "next generation" and so made case designs with... 

Hi Art, Jester just started this thread on HOME and I think it could be one of the reasons that my 34mm Geneve looks relatively larger. My theory is that it is the combination of gold case, light coloured dial, uncluttered face (no date, simple markers), ... 

I was attracted to its timeless dress design and the view through the aftermarket display back. As Bill Sohne has amply explained, while 60s Geneves such as yours and mine were no longer at the top tier of Omega's offerings, they are by no means poorly de...  

Thanks Steve, Beautiful Geneve. There are obvious family traits in the markers and case. Nice to see how Omega was able to evolve the design. My dial has a brushed surface which catches the light very nicely. I assume it is made from aluminium. Lovely mov... 

As always, Steeve, your pics are candy for the eyes. You're absolutely right, this watch is timeless. I'm really in love with this very balanced dial, sober, elegant, and powerful at the smae time! Thanks for sharing such a beauty! Nicolas
