This is a beautiful 1973 Omega Genève in excellent condition.
This particular model of the Genève is one of the most attractive in the Genève model history. It moved away from the "beefy" lugs of the earlier Seamasters to a much more elegant design that visually prioritised the dial over the case and bezel and as such gives the watch great wrist presence.
The silver sunburst dial has complimentary applied, polished steel hour batons with black striped tops. All except the quarters have balls of luminous material at their tips. The stainless steel hands also have luminous inserts. Sweep seconds hand. When running, the quick-set date at 3 changes automatically at midnight. To adjust independantly pull out the crown one stop and rotate it until you find the correct date. Pull it out two stops to adjust the time. Original crown with the Omega logo. Printed in black is the Omega logo, Omega, Automatic, Genève and Swiss made.
The stainless steel case and screw fit case-back are in fine condition with no signs of abuse, just a few minor scratches. The inside of the case-back is fully marked Omega together with the model number.
The watch is run by the automatic Omega in-house manufactured 1012 calibre. In great condition and running as you would expect.
Fitted to the watch is a genuine leather black ono-Omega strap.
