- Fully Omega - 1 Year Warranty
Today's
offering showcases this beautifully restored example of one of
Omega's vintage gent's Geneve watches.
Beginning in 1953 Omega placed the name Geneve on the dials of some
of the members of the 30mm collection which at the time were produced
in the company's workshops in Geneve (to put Geneve on a dial
of a watch certain components and processes must take place in
Geneve) and later expanded the line of watches featuring the name.
According to Omega the name referred to to the Genevan Observatory
where the early 30mm calibers set a number of records.
Powering the watch is Omega's caliber 1012 movement used in Seamasters
from the era. At
a time when the quartz revolution was beginning to take place
this watch carried on both the style and mechanical functionality
of a traditional Omega.
It
has a full size classic waterproof style steel case that measures
35mm in diameter - one millimeter smaller than a Rolex Datejust. It is fully Omega down to the hands and
crown. It is in gorgeous restored condition and presents as mint.
As part
of the restoration the movement has been freshly overhauled.
Included with the purchase is a one-year warranty on the movement and
its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate
of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
A four
and half decade old Omega that looks new on the wrist!
Omega:
Worn on the wrists of celebrities Michael Schumacher, Pierce Brosnan,
Michael Phelps, and Ernie Els Omega timepieces rank with Rolex and
other of the world's fine Swiss firms.
