Hello dear Art! Another roll call I answer with some delay...
... nowadays working from home takes many hours a day leaving less time to devote to more pleasurable activities like visiting my favorite place in Internet here.
A beautiful example of Geneve you show with a chronometre movement showing a truly impressive performance in spite of its age. A real treasure!
I also own just one Geneve model and I must confess I wear it very little and it deserves more wrist time.
I will be wearing it along this week now.
I have never opened it so I don’t have its reference number nor data about its automatic movement.
I was attracted to this little watch By the beauty of its script of the Geneve name, its hand set and arrow point indexes.
Hope you’ll like it!
Thank you so much for calling our attention about this model from Omega!!
Best! Abel
Genève roll call! Let's see the . . .
. . . other line Omega's famous for. Only one in my collection . . . . . . a ca '69 ref 137.001, the only reference fitted with the chronometer-rated cal 602 movement. This one's an exceptionally strong performer, and on my wrist currently. Art ...
When I acquired it nine years ago, it was timed on machine . . .
. . . at +/- 0 seconds per day. On my wrist, a gain of a second, maximum. There were no marks on the inner caseback, so it probably had never been serviced. Had it serviced for the first time three years ago. After a day on my wrist or dresser, it's gaine...
Rather more modest than yours...
...but also from 1969 when I bought it new. This was my first “real” watch and has been all over the world with me. ...
Any chance of re-posting the photo, Tigger? . . .
. . . it's not showing up within your original post. (If you're unable to post, please let me know via private message.) Thanks, Art
That's an uncommon reference - I've only seen a few . . .
. . . over the years. And uncommonly handsome without a date aperture. Cal 560? Art
Ah, I meant cal 550 and not 560 . . .
. . . which represent non-date and date 17-jewel automatics respectively. Cal 552 would be even better. Another uncommon version would be the manual winding Seamaster Genève . . . . . . with a similar case. Art ...
Not chronometers but very much a Geneve
I often forget this name against the more prominent ‘Dynamic’. Your Geneve above is indeed a lovely piece! Hope all is well with you, Art. Best wishes from Scotland. ...
Ovoid Genève! And like Jacob's coat, they came . . .
. . . in many colors. All's well here, Giles - staying home mostly, out once or twice weekly to shoot pool with my pals. And not really missing the hubbub of pre-covid days . . . especially when driving our now freely moving So Cal freeways. Art
That was my aim all along, Nicolas! . . .
. . . glad to know our efforts are appreciated ;-) . . .
Beautiful watch there, Art.
I got one early on,- they were quite cheap 10-15 years ago. Since I'm mostly a Connie kind of guy, when it comes to Omega dress, I used this 61' 14703 SC with a 362 mov. to infect my nephew. Worked like a charm ...
Ah, a scripted Genève! . . .
. . . I was hoping one would pop up from our community. Genève's can be thought of as Constellations with ordinary production movements - similar execution with the exception of bulletins. Collectors are drawn to Connies for aesthetic reasons, certainly, ...
From '66
Not sure about much else as I inherited it. Other than its going nowhere Cheers JML
It would be worthwhile sharing an image of the inner caseback . . .
. . . when you have it serviced next. My hunch is it's one of the last cases Dennison made for the British Omega agency. Art

I'm fond of scripted Genèves, too, Abel. Here's another . . .
. . . similar to your. Not mine, nor can I remember where I got the photo from. It struck as an exceptionally handsome example of a steel cased model, and one that could easily find a home in my collection. Art ...
great idea of a Genève roll call, art!
Many beauties shown here today! You show a very good condition one as the first photo. Best regards
Not only is it in mint condition externally, Seeks . . .
. . . it's also one of the better performers in my collection.
