Hello Tdn! Lovely Geneve Omega and very nice composition...
... showing it in all its splendor on the tree stump. Agree with you that these outdoor shots offer a very special mood to the pictures.
These Geneve watches have a very special charm. I specially like the script on the "Geneve" inscription on its dial as well as the cross hairs detail.
With your permission I would like to share my own example with a gold case.
Keep enjoying your beaautiful Omega! Best cordial regards, Abel.

What a beauty ...
Love the dial, with the crossed lines. Congratulations. Cheers, Nilo
Thanks.....
But not a new one. I found a place in the garden one a tree stump that is perfect for pictures and took some pictures and fell in love a gain with this Genéve :-) nothing beats natural light for pictures
Nice one, Thomas! :)
I will check when I get home, I think I have some nice document on this one.... Best Blomman

Thank you Thomas! Glad you like it! Yes, very similar...
... to that in the illustration from our friend Blomman. I need to take mine to the watchmaker to open its back and take a look to the reference and serial numbers, as well as the caliber. Cheers and good week end! Abel
Here is a scan from the 1958 catalog.....
Looks like you nailed the strap as well! :) Best Blomman ...
Thanks Blomman
I think the one on the picture is a 30 mm. sub second , mine is a ref. 14724-SC61, cal. 610 from 1961. the dials index is similar. Best. Thomas
Hello dear Blomman! Nice to view this page from the Omega...
... catalog. I feel 30 mm must be the generic way of calling this collection. Regretably I don´t have the reference number for my watch, but its case diameter is 34,5 mm and its strap size is 18 mm. As a matter of fact, the straps are not the original one...
30 mm is referring to ....
The movements used in many Omega Geneva watches. The reference should be on the inside of the case back, dear Abel. If possible, ask your watchmaker to open and have a look and you will see. Best, my friend Blomman
Thank you dearf Blomman! Yes, I will take this one to my...
... watchmaker because the case back is very thight and didn´t dare to risk a marking of the case with my watch knife blade. Cordial regards, Abel.
My example is from later production . . .
. . . and fitted with a chronometer rated cal 602 movement. It is, along with the Grand Seiko and Karree PanoDate, amongst the better time-keepers in my collection. Last checked, it was running essentially perfectly. Another Genève was under consideration...
The Geneva line....
Had many different shapes in the 70's... Some Chronometre... Some with turning bezel... Ladies Geneva's had even more variations.... Both in shape and dials... Best Blomman ...
Late to the party, but...
one might say that I have a "thing" for the early manual versions… ...
Not to late :-)
They are stunning! Is it different references? Some of them looks identical, if you have doublets or triplets just send some of them to me :-)
Thank you!
All but one are the uncommon, larger 36mm reference. I've sent the duplicates to you, and hope that they will arrive safely. ;>)` Tony C.
