Vintage Omega Genève withMint Blue Dial, Patina, Divers All SS Case, Orig Bracelet

This vintage 1970’s Omega Genève Chronometer has a satin blue “- SWISS MADE -” signed dial that is in pristine condition, free of any scratching, tool marks, chipping or defects. Any imperfections seen are on the crystal. The original lume on the dial and hands, which remains fully intact and no longer emits a glow after being exposed to bright light, has aged to a perfectly matching warm butterscotch hue. The heavy duty all stainless steel case is beautifully cut and in excellent condition, showing light wear, minor dings and no signs of oxidation. The inside of the case back is stamped “OMEGA WATCH Co” followed by FAB. SUISSE, SWISS MADE, ACIER, INOXYABLE, 198. 020″ and “MOVEMENT LICENSED BULOVA & PAT (ESA). The crystal, with the Omega logo etched in the center, shows light scratching and some dust/debris on its underbelly that is nearly visibly imperceptible in person. The 12 jewels unadjusted “Omega 1260″ stamped electronically controlled tuning fork movement with quickset day and date functions is clean, keeps accurate time and both the day and date wheels roll over as they should. After pulling out the crown to the first position, the quickset day function works by slowly turning the crown clockwise (date will also change) while the date can be set by slowly turning the crown counterclockwise (day will not change if the crown is turned slowly). The sharply threaded, original Omega signed non-screwdown crown pulls out and sets the date and time without issue. Although this watch runs strong and keeps perfect time, considering the movement’s unknown service history (there is one visible watchmaker service markings on the inside of the case back) and because it is unknown when the battery was last replaced, a complete overhaul is recommended to keep it running strong. This watch measures approximately 40 mm excluding the crown, approximately 42 mm including the crown and and approximately 20 mm between the lugs. Case thickness, measured from the bottom of the case back to the top of the mid-case, is approximately 9 mm. Including the crystal case thickness measures approximately 11 mm. This watch comes on its original bracelet that is in beautiful condition with nearly no stretch. The inside of the clasp is stamped “32, “”STAINLESS STEEL, “”1196/210″ and “OMEGA” with the Omega emblem stamped on the outside of the buckle. The buckle snaps tightly shut as it should. There are no spare links. This band is a bit loose on my approximate 6.5 inch wrist while currently set on the third loosest buckle adjustment. It should comfortably accommodate a 7 inch wrist and possibly larger. Although this watch currently runs strong and keeps perfect time, given that it is more than 40 years old and considering the movement’s unknown service history shows and when the battery was last replaced, a complete overhaul is recommended. As such there are no warranties, express or implied, attached with the sale of this watch. Vintage means old and while my personal belief is that old-school means better quality and workmanship, things can and do go wrong from time to time. Any servicing costs going forward are your responsibility. And please study the 12 high magnification pictures carefully as they are part of the description and serve as an accurate representation of the condition of this watch.
