Today's offering showcases this distinctively retro style example of one of Omega's classic vintage Geneve double quick-setting watches in gorgeous restored condition with Tiffany & Co. robins eggs blue dial.

It is a classic retro Omega with tonneau case, integrated bracelet, distinctive dial, and automatic movement.

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.

* Faster beat (28,800 bph) balance system for greater accuracy (and 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 has all of its original parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration.

Its case presents in gorgeous mint with strong lines. Its original Omega dial has been carefully previously custom refinished in a Tiffany & Co. robins egg blue. With the exception of the Geneve script, which was done in an earlier period font, the rest of the dial presents perfectly and could pass as Omega factory done.

A Master Watchmaker has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing any overly worn components, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $595 value).

It continues to run extremely strong and true, keeping time essentially on par with a brand new Omega in our testing recording position.

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 attesting to its performance.

Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.

Omega Geneve:

Omega watches can be found on the wrists of many prominent figures including Pierce Brosnan, Michael Schumacher, Michael Phelps, Ernie Els, Prince William, and one graced the wrist of President John F. Kennedy. Omega has been the official timekeeper for 21 Olympic Games and is the official chronometer of NASA.

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. They later expanded the use of the model name to other watches like this one.
