Omega Genève Dynamic Day-Date

Friends,

As you know I am really into the Funky Seventies…

One of the Omega watches from that period I have been looking at but never come to own is the Omega Dynamic.

The oval case shape and the typical 70’s design of hands and dial really speak to me!

I still haven’t got one, but a friend of mine got himself a reference 166.089.

An Omega Genève Dynamic Day-Date on leather trap.

The oval case with sloping bezel - really cool!

Love the dial and hands, the big blue sweeping second hand…

Personally I would have preferred a date only but the Day-Date is a nice version as well!

The way to set the Day and Date is to first set the day by setting the time (until you have the correct day).

After that by pulling the crown to the outer position, set the date.

Inside is the automatic movement caliber 752, 24 jewels, beating in a not so common 19800 A/h.

The integrated strap is attached to the watch with a ring on the back.

Strap in place.

Cheery on the cake – another unusual detail, the original pin buckle with two visible sides.

Congrats to my friend, a really nice Funky Seventies find!

Best

Interesting and ...

Quite common here. I believe that Omega sold tons of this watch here. Never paid any attention on this watch but now, seeing your post, I go to hunt a perfect date only one. Thanks for the motivation. Cheers, Nilo

Quite common here as well....

But often in poor condition. This one is fresh from SPA, in stunning condition! Best Blomman

I always liked the Genève. It is a very "stand alone" type of watch. I personally like the oval form, where the lenght is shorter than the whidth, very much! It fits also smaller wrists, like mine... ;-) How is the strap attached?

The strap is a one piece with a hole for the case....

From the back a ring is screwed down on the case fixating the strap. Very unusual design! Best Blomman

Genèves from that period were (and are) underappreciated . . .

. . . particularly the oval Dynamics. Incidentally, earlier today a Purist friend forwarded a link to a coeval Genève Admiralty with diving bezel and a slim watertight case, fitted with a cal 601 manual winding movement. Talk about obscure! . . . I've see...

Thank you, Art but this one is not mine....

A friend of mine picked it up! But I find it very appealing. But would prefer a date only version. About Genève line, my friend also have another one that just back from SPA, will show you in a separate post. Best Blomman

A really cool reference, Blomman

By: AlexSunrise : November 24th, 2015-18:17

For years I hunted for one, and luckily one day, out of the blue I found a clean example. Regardless that Omega made millions back in the day, it still feels really cool to wear. Knowing you dear Blomman, you will find yours in no time. All the best, Alex...

I didn't know you had one. Bravo! [nt]

Another beautiful example!

By: blomman Mr Blue : November 24th, 2015-23:45

Congrats, my friend! Didn't know you had this one... When I find one, we will have (at least) three different references from three different brands in common! Best Blomman

Proof once again that great minds think alike ;) [nt]

Yes! :) [nt]

Was lucky

to locate this a few years ago looks like model 73 on your old omega catalogue best henry ...

Interesting, I never reflected over the fact that there are two different cases!

By: blomman Mr Blue : November 24th, 2015-23:47

The one in my post with "straight" bezel and yours with rounded bezel. Very nice, Henry! Congrats! Best Blomman

Gentlemen I have for various reasons only recently visited again this site for many years & am delighted to see many familiar names. It was with interest I saw your post which sent me rummaging around many drawers to find my Geneva Dynamic which according...

Leather strap is available....

Good to have you back! On different auction sites (at least after market, like the one in my photos). The red key you don't need. Any adjustable case back wrench will do. The reference I can't explain. But I am no expert on Omega - the one in my photos is...
