Love the dial, with the crossed lines.

Congratulations.

Cheers,

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 again with this Genéve nothing beats natural light for pictures

I will check when I get home, I think I have some nice document on this one....

... 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.

Let us see more early Genéves

Looks like the one in Blommans catalog.

... 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

Looks like you nailed the strap as well!

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.

But a similar version...

... 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 ones but a nice replacement. It is most possible the same in your catalog.

Thank you for sharing this info! Best cordial regards, Abel.

The movements used in many Omega Geneva watches.

... 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.

. . . 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. 

. . . still remains in my collection, although it doesn't get nearly the wrist time it deserves.

Had many different shapes in the 70's...

Some with turning bezel...

No message body

one might say that I have a "thing" for the early manual versions…

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

All but one are the uncommon, larger 36mm reference.

I should wear this one more often...
