1970 Omega Geneve Vintage Mens Cal. 565 Automatic Watch with Quick-Setting Date - Stainless Steel

Omega

Item No. 4892

Today's offering showcases this superior example of one of Omega's vintage gent's Geneve watches.

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) and later expanded the line of watches featuring the name. According to Omega the name referred to to the Genevan Observatory where the early 30mm calibers set a number of records.

Powering the watch is Omega's very fine caliber 565 movement used in Seamasters from the era. It has a full size classic waterproof style steel case and distinctive dial.

It measures 35mm in diameter - one millimeter smaller than a Rolex Datejust. It is fully Omega down to the hands and crown. It is in gorgeous restored condition and presents beautifully.

As part of the restoration the movement has been freshly overhauled and is running very true.

Included with the purchase is a one-year warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.

Omega:

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 fine Swiss firms.
