This Omega Genève is a prime example of the value that can be found in vintage Omega watches. A modern Omega with a solid gold case would cost you over £12,500 at retail, but we offer you this wonderful Calatrava style Omega Genève from the 1950s with a saving of over £10,000. With its jumbo 36mm case size, which was incredibly large for its time, it still looks elegant and stylish in modern times. The original Omega dial is in good condition, with only minor pitting, and features incredible details such as the claw style hour markers, the italic Genève print, and the sub seconds complication. These intricate details create a true vintage feel that is just as captivating today as it was nearly 70 years ago when this watch was made. Powered by the 266 movement, a popular and reliable movement among Omega enthusiasts for its simplicity and refinement, this watch will keep telling the time accurately for the next 70 years or more (as long as you take good care of it).
