Condition

This is a beautiful vintage Omega Geneve that features a near mint silver sunburst dial and a fully functioning date complication. It houses an automatic 565 movement and is keeping great time. The stainless steel case on this example is in excellent condition and even the case back has all of its brushwork showing well despite its many decades of use. A really lovely example.

Dial - The dial on this piece is in superb condition. There are some tiny marks that are visible, but only under magnification.

Case - The stainless steel case is in superb condition. There are some light scratches and marks as you would expect of a watch of this age.

Crown - This piece has its original signed crown which changes the date perfectly. To change the time, the crown is pulled out to its first position and rotated. To change the date, the crown is pulled out to the second position and the date will flick over. 

Movement - The automatic movement is keeping great time. Cosmetically, the movement is in excellent condition. 

Case back - The case back is in excellent condition for its age. It is showing some light scratches from tools being used on the case back over the years, but all of the original brushwork still shows clearly.

Strap - The watch sits on an aftermarket strap which is in brand new condition. 

Crystal - The original acrylic with the Omega logo in the centre is still on the watch and it is in excellent condition with no visible marks.
