Omega
For sale is a Swiss Made Omega Genève Automatic watch with reference number 166.070, dating back to around 1969 based on its serial number. The Genève line was used to designate watches by Omega that fell more into the dress watch category, which is what this watch embodies. A minimalist 35mm stainless steel case houses a creamy silver sunburst dial. Obélisque type hands indicate the hours, minutes and seconds on non-numeral polished indices. A calendar window can be found at the 3 O'Clock position, underneath the loupe of the original Omega crystal. Said date can be quickset by pulling the crown to its outmost position, then pushing it in again. The crown is original, bearing the Omega logo. Inside the watch we find a renowned caliber 565 automatic movement, which has been freshly serviced and is perfectly keeping time. A dark brown leather strap with contrasting stitching and generic buckle comes fitted to the watch.
The example sold here has been worn throughout its life, but is still in good condition considering its age. You will find some marks on the case when closely examining the watch, but no overly coarse damage. The case is unpolished and therefore in original shape. The crystal is brand new and original, bearing the Omega hallmark in the center. It features a loupe above the date window: this loupe sits on the bottom of the crystal, and is therefore not as prone to scratching as a protruding loupe would. The dial, indices and hands show some signs of ageing: most notable are some light blemishes around the center of the dial, as well as some damage in between the 11 and 12 O'clock indices. Please study the pictures in this listing well: they show the watch in the condition that it is in, with no digital enhancements to make it look better than it is. We are sure that you like honesty, and so do we. Functionally, the watch has been serviced prior to sale and is working perfectly. Sold as a watch only: sadly no original box or paperwork are present with this piece.
Your newly acquired timepiece will be packaged with great care, and will be shipped out as fast as possible. We usually ship the same day your payment comes in, and provide full insurance as well as a tracking code for all of our packages. If you have any questions regarding the item or our services, please do not hesitate to reach out. We'll gladly assist as soon as we get the chance!
