Overview

While the Speedmaster and Seamaster were conquering space and sea, the Omega Genève collection was conquering the world. For decades, the Genève was the backbone of the Omega catalog, a line of watches that offered the brand’s legendary quality and timeless design to the discerning professional, the recent graduate, and the stylish man-about-town. It is, in our opinion, the quintessential expression of mid-century Swiss watchmaking for the everyday enthusiast.

Historically, Omega reserved the “Genève” signature for its highest-quality timepieces crafted in its Geneva workshops. By the 1960s, the collection had evolved to represent the pinnacle of elegant, reliable, and accessible luxury. These watches were built to be worn and trusted, powered by Omega’s robust in-house automatic movements, which were renowned for their durability and precision. An automatic caliber with a date function was a mark of modern convenience, and the Genève presented it in a package of pure, understated class.

This particular example is a perfect encapsulation of the Genève’s enduring appeal. The 34mm gold-plated case is a masterclass in classic proportions, wearing comfortably and elegantly on virtually any wrist. Its beautiful silver sunburst dial is pure Omega, creating a fantastic play of light that is both dynamic and legible. The design is perfectly balanced, with clean applied indices, a svelte handset, and a neatly framed date window at 3 o’clock. It’s a design that was perfect in the 1970s and remains perfect today.
