Case and Crystal The 34mm case is finished in 20-micron gold plating, as indicated by the interior hallmarks, and retains strong definition on the lugs.

The copper-colored plating of the movement appears clean and free of corrosion. Based on timegrapher testing, the watch is currently running between -21 and -25 seconds per day, which indicates healthy movement operation running within vintage tolerances for a timepiece of this era. Strap The watch is paired with a brown leather strap featuring a crocodile grain pattern that complements the gold tones of the case. It is in good condition, soft and pliable, and is finished with a gold-tone pin buckle. Condition This timepiece is in excellent vintage condition. The dial is remarkably well-preserved, serving as the highlight of the watch. The case exhibits honest wear typical of a 1960s dress watch, maintaining its elegant profile. The mechanics are sound, and the overall presentation is clean and attractive. Dimensions The case measures 34 mm in diameter excluding the crown, a traditional and understated size that fits comfortably under a shirt cuff.

History The Omega Genève collection was originally established in 1953 to celebrate Omega's victories at the Geneva Observatory chronometer trials. By the late 1960s, when this specific watch was produced, the Genève line had evolved into the brand's core collection of high-quality dress watches. The Caliber 613 found inside represents the maturity of Omega's manual-wind technology, noted for its robustness and the inclusion of a quick-set date function, making these models highly practical for the modern enthusiast. /Second Vintage SKU: OME-OGS-0001
