Its black pearl finish has a soft, understated sheen that gives the surface depth while avoiding the mirror-like reflections of a gloss dial. Against this dark backdrop, the wide applied baton markers become a defining design element, catching the light beautifully and giving the dial an unexpected sense of dimension. The polished hands and framed date window makes it feel purposeful, refined, and highly legible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe cases sharply sculpted, angular profile is unmistakably a product of the era, yet its clean geometry gives it an appearance that still feels remarkably current today. The combination of brushed and polished surfaces pairs naturally with the understated black dial, creating a watch that feels equally appropriate with casual attire or a sport coat. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts size is large enough to not look like an overly small vintage watch - the case measures 34mm in diameter, the same size as a Rolex Date model.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePowering the watch is Omega's top-tier caliber 565 movement used in Seamasters from the era, and one of the last superior 500's series movements used before Omega began trying to reduce their costs, and the top tier offering of the 500 series. It has 24 jewels and a quick-setting date and is one of the finest mass-produced automatic movements from the era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt has all of its original parts and t has just finished a true expertly done restoration. It presents in gorgeous condition. It presents as a 9.7 out of 10.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts case presents as mint. Its original Omega dial has meticulously restored - the printing could virtually pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlso available for sale is a period correct Omega bracelet that could be paired with it if you would like. Please inquire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs part of the restoration, the movement has been overhauled by a Master Watchmaker. It is running extremely strong and true, keeping time essentially on par with a new Omega in our testing recording position.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the finishing touch, we have installed a new calfskin leather strap and aftermarket Omega style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncluded 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYour watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime.

According to Omega the name referred to the Genèvan Observatory where the early 30mm calibers set a number of records. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/b\u003e Omega \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCountry of origin:\u003c\/b\u003e Switzerland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSerial number:\u003c\/b\u003e 25,695,116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eYear built:\u003c\/b\u003e c. 1967\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e Genève, ref. 166.041\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/b\u003e Hours, Minutes, Automatic, Sweep Seconds, Quick Setting Date\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDesigned for:\u003c\/b\u003e Men \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase material:\u003c\/b\u003e Stainless steel \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase markings (inside):\u003c\/b\u003e Omega Watch Co, Swiss Made, Acier Inoxydable, 166.041\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase condition:\u003c\/b\u003e Presents as mint\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 34mm wide (excluding crown), 40.5mm long lug tip-to-tip\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDial:\u003c\/b\u003e Black pearl, signed Omega Geneve, steel applied wide baton indexes, expertly restored\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHands:\u003c\/b\u003e Original, steel batons\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMovement type:\u003c\/b\u003e Omega Caliber 565, 17 jewels, copper collared, shock protected, bi-direction automatic, micrometer regulator for precision timing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMovement markings:\u003c\/b\u003e Omega Watch Co., Swiss, Seventeen 17 Jewels, 565, Unadjusted\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJewels:\u003c\/b\u003e 17 rubies \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBeat frequency:\u003c\/b\u003e 19,800 BPH \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBand:\u003c\/b\u003e Calfskin leather, fully stitched, padded, brand new and unworn with aftermarket Omega style buckle.
