The stainless steel snap-back caseback is brushed and retains its original finishing. The signed Omega crown is present. The crystal is clear and presents well. Movement Powering the watch is the Omega Caliber 620, a copper-colored manual wind movement known for its slim profile.

Timegrapher testing indicates a rate of approximately -38s to -47s per day, which indicates a healthy movement offering reliable vintage performance. Strap The watch is fitted with a burgundy leather strap featuring contrasting stitching, which complements the gold tones of the case and the champagne dial perfectly. It is secured by a gold-tone pin buckle. Condition This timepiece is in good vintage condition. While the case exhibits honest wear consistent with its age and use, specifically regarding the gold plating on the edges, the dial remains in excellent, near-mint condition. The movement is running and functioning as expected for a vintage mechanical piece. Dimensions The case measures 35 mm excluding the crown, offering a classic dress watch proportion that sits elegantly on the wrist. Remarks This square Omega Genève is a stylish example of 1970s design language. The combination of the "tank" style case and the pristine sunburst dial makes it a dressy and sophisticated choice for the collector who appreciates shape watches. It is a charming piece that wears its history openly on the case while displaying time on a flawless face. History The Omega Genève line was created to celebrate Omega's success at the Geneva Observatory trials and eventually became the brand's volume leader, offering high-quality in-house movements in stylish designs. By the 1970s, the collection embraced more angular and geometric shapes, moving away from the round cases of the 1950s. This specific reference utilizes the Caliber 620, a movement originally designed to allow for thinner, more elegant dress watches, cementing Omega's reputation for combining durability with refined aesthetics. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-OGX-0023
