The dial is in exceptionally clean condition, showing virtually no spotting, moisture damage, or significant blemishes, which is a rare find for Dynamic models of this era. Black printed radial minute markers provide excellent legibility, while the applied day and date window at the three o'clock position features a warm golden frame that perfectly complements the case.

Case and Crystal The iconic 41 mm elliptical case features a heavy gold-plated upper section finished with sharp, factory-correct radial brushing that radiates beautifully from the dial outward. The case remains in good vintage condition, presenting honest signs of wear, including minor surface scratches and expected rubbing to the gold plating along the sharp outer edges and near the crown recess, revealing the base metal underneath in small areas. The original gold-plated, Omega-signed crown is nestled deeply into the case side and remains crisp. A domed acrylic crystal protects the dial, showing some light surface scratches consistent with normal vintage wear, though it remains highly transparent and visually clear. The stainless steel caseback is secured tightly, displaying the correct TOOL 107 WATERPROOF engraving on the exterior and the reference 166.079 stamping on the interior.

Remarks The Genève Dynamic represents a fascinating chapter in Omega's history, blending ergonomic innovation with bold mid-century aesthetics. Finding an example with such a pristine bullseye dial and a strong-running Caliber 752 movement makes this a highly compelling acquisition for both dedicated Omega collectors and enthusiasts of 1970s design. History Introduced in 1968, the Omega Dynamic was the brainchild of sales director Robert Forster and designer Raymond Thévenaz. Conceived to be the ultimate ergonomic watch, its elliptical shape was determined by extensive research into the anatomy of the human wrist. The unique case design, combined with a specialized integrated strap system and highly legible dials, made the Dynamic an instant commercial success. It quickly became Omega's best-selling model of the late 1960s and early 1970s, celebrated for its futuristic appeal and uncompromising mechanical quality. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-OAG-0022
