Omega has been the official timekeeper for 21 Olympic Games and is the official chronometer of NASA.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeginning 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. \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 31,489,595 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eYear built:\u003c\/b\u003e c. 1969\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e Geneve, Ref. ST 162.010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/b\u003e Hours, Minutes, Automatic, Quick-Setting Date, Sweep Seconds\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, 162.010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase condition:\u003c\/b\u003e Mint\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 33mm wide (excluding crown), 38mm long lug tip-to-tip \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDial:\u003c\/b\u003e Tiffany \u0026amp; Co. robin's egg blue \/ turquoise, signed Omega, steel applied baton indexes, original dial expertly custom refinished\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHands:\u003c\/b\u003e Original, steel \"batons\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMovement type:\u003c\/b\u003e Cal. 565, copper colored, 24 jewels, straight line lever escapement, monometallic balance, shock-absorber, self-compensating flat balance-spring, micrometer regulator\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMovement markings:\u003c\/b\u003e Omega, Swiss, 565, 24 Jewels\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJewels:\u003c\/b\u003e 24 rubies \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBand:\u003c\/b\u003e Calfskin leather, dark blue, fully stitched, padded, brand new and unworn with aftermarket Omega style buckle.
