Today's offering showcases this gorgeously restored example of one of Omega's classic vintage Geneve watches with striking yellow dial that looks like the Ferrari yellow color Giallo Modena.

It circa dates to 1969 where it might have laid next to the Speedmaster Professional that was headed to to the Moon.

Powering 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.

Along with the 565, it was one of the top two offerings of the 500 series. It has 17 jewels and a quick-setting date and is one of the finest mass-produced automatic movements from era.

We love the design of it waterproof style case and distinctive Ferrari Yellow colored dial. And its 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.

It has all of its original parts and t has just finished a true expertly done restoration. It presents in gorgeous condition. The watch itself presents as a 9.7 out of 10.

Its case presents as mint. Its dial has been meticulously custom refinished in a tone that resembles Giallo Modena - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye. Its original Omega beads of rice bracelet shows moderate stretch - its finish presents as mint.

As part of the restoration, the movement has been overhauled by a Master Watchmaker. It is running very strong and true, keeping time on par with a new Omega in our testing recording position.

For the finishing touch, we have meticulously detailed it making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

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.

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 training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.

Omega Geneve:

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.

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 the Genevan Observatory where the early 30mm calibers set a number of records.
