Blue Dial - Stainless Steel","description":"Today's offering showcases this gorgeously restored example of one of Omega's classic vintage Genève watches with true Tiffany \u0026amp; Co. robins egg blue color dial.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe original Omega dial has been beautifully custom refinished in a true Tiffany blue, giving this classic Genève a fresh, contemporary personality while preserving the clean, balanced design language that makes these late-1960s Genèves so appealing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe vivid color brings new energy to the dial without overwhelming the watch’s naturally restrained proportions. The broad applied baton markers bring enough vintage structure to keep the watch grounded in its era, while the vibrant dial gives the design modern appeal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIts brushed steel case sharpen the contrast, allowing the color to become the focal point without overwhelming the watch, which now feels equally appropriate with casual attire or a sport coat. We think it's a particularly successful example of how a thoughtfully chosen modern color can reveal just how timeless the underlying Omega design really is.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWe think it would look equally good on a black strap. Please inquire if you would like one. Also available for sale is a period correct Omega bracelet that could be paired with it if you would like. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIts 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\u003e\nPowering 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\u003e\nIt has all of its original parts and t has just finished a true expertly done restoration. It presents in gorgeous condition. It presents as an easy 9.7 out of 10.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIts case presents as gorgeous mint with only very light signs of previous polishing. Its lines and engraved printing remain very strong.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIts original Omega dial has meticulously custom refinished - the printing could virtually pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAs part of the restoration, the movement has been overhauled by a Master Watchmaker. We have also timed it on a machine that simulates it being worn on the wrist. It is running extremely strong and true, keeping time on par with a new Omega in our testing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFor the finishing touch, we have installed a new darker blue calfskin leather strap and aftermarket Omega style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIncluded 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\u003e\nYour 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOmega Geneve:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWorn 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBeginning in 1953 Omega placed the name Genève on the dials of some of the members of the 30mm collection which at the time were produced in the company's workshops in Genève (to put Geneve on a dial of a watch certain components and processes must take place in Genève) and later expanded the line of watches featuring the name. According to Omega the name referred to the Genèvan Observatory where the early 30mm calibers set a number of records. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/b\u003e Omega \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCountry of origin:\u003c\/b\u003e Switzerland\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSerial number:\u003c\/b\u003e 28,708,441\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eYear built:\u003c\/b\u003e c. 1969\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e Genève, ref. 166.041\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/b\u003e Hours, Minutes, Automatic, Sweep Seconds, Quick Setting Date\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDesigned for:\u003c\/b\u003e Men \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCase material:\u003c\/b\u003e Stainless steel \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCase markings (inside):\u003c\/b\u003e Omega Watch Co, Swiss Made, Acier Inoxydable, 166.041\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCase condition:\u003c\/b\u003e Its case presents as gorgeous mint with only very light signs of previous polishing.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 34mm wide (excluding crown), 40.5mm long lug tip-to-tip\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDial:\u003c\/b\u003e Tiffany \u0026amp; Co. robins egg blue, signed Omega Geneve, steel applied wide baton indexes, original Omega dial experty custom refinished\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHands:\u003c\/b\u003e Original, steel batons\u003cbr\u003e\n\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\n\u003cb\u003eMovement markings:\u003c\/b\u003e Omega Watch Co., Swiss, Seventeen 17 Jewels, 565, Unadjusted\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eJewels:\u003c\/b\u003e 17 rubies \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBeat frequency:\u003c\/b\u003e 19,800 BPH \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBand:\u003c\/b\u003e Calfskin leather, darker blue, fully stitched, padded, brand new and unworn with aftermarket Omega style buckle.
