Our View

Vintage Omega dress watches continue to offer some of the best value in Swiss watch collecting, and this Genève stands out thanks to its uncommon rectangular case and striking brown dial.

The oversized Roman numerals at 12 and 6 create a bold and sophisticated appearance, while the warm tones of the dial and gold-plated case give the watch tremendous vintage charm. It is the sort of watch that looks equally at home with formal attire or as a stylish everyday piece.

For collectors seeking something a little different from the usual vintage Omega fare, this Genève offers rarity, character and timeless design in equal measure.
