Today's offering showcases this very cool example of one of Omega's classic vintage Geneve double quick-setting watches.

Here are some of its features:

• Pioneering so-called "double quick-set" day and date features - Omega created the caliber 1022 movement with a double quick-set capability for convenient setting of the day and date.Though many connoisseurs associate the idea of the double quick-set watch with Rolex, which first offered the President model with this "new" feature in late 1990, Omega was a pioneer of the technology in large scale production watches.
• Striking dark seafoam green/blue dial. If you would like to see a photo of the watch on the wrist in daylight or flourescent light just ask!
• Faster beat (28,800 bph) balance system for greater accuracy (this watch is the higher 23 jeweled version)
• Full size 35mm case - in between the sizes of a Rolex Date and a Rolex Datejust.

It features an elegant, waterproof style case, stylish dark seafoam green dial with baguette markers, and fine Omega movement originally adjusted to two positions.

It is fully Omega down to the dial, hands, crown, and original crystal!

It has just finished a true expertly done restoration. The case presents as mint on the wrist - the underside of the lugs have the slightest bit of aging - otherwise it presents as gorgeous mint. The original Omega dial has been meticulously custom refinished - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye.

As part of the restoration the movement has been fully serviced by a Master Watchmaker. It winds very smoothly and continues to keep very accurate time.

For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new calfskin leather strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to its performance.

Omega Geneve:
Celebrating humanity's supreme achievements and performances, from man's landing on the moon to the Olympic competitions, Omega watches have been prized for generations by those seeking the most precise timepieces in the world. Since its creation in 1848 by Louis Brandt, Omega has relentlessly pursued watchmaking perfection, earning worldwide honors and fame.

Worn on the wrists of celebrities Michael Schumacher, Pierce Brosnan, Michael Phelps, and Ernie Els, Omega timepieces rank with Rolex and other of the world's best Swiss firms.

Beginning in 1953 Omega placed the name Geneve on the dials of some of the members of the 30mm collection which at the time were produced in the company's workshops in Geneve (to put Geneve on a dial of a watch certain components and processes must take place in Geneve). According to Omega the name referred to to the Genevan Observatory where the early 30mm calibers set a number of records.
