According to Omega the name referred to the Genevan Observatory where the early 30mm calibers set a number of records. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt features a classic early retro waterproof style tonneau case, gloss black dial with baguette markers, wide boy hands, and a high grade Omega handwound movement originally adjusted to two positions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis watch have a very satisfying presence. No date window interrupting the dial. No unnecessary text. No decorative flourishes competing for attention. Just time, presented with clarity and confidence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe brushed tonneau-style case gives it a distinctly modern character for its era, while the stark black dial and bright applied baton markers create a crisp appearance that feels every bit as contemporary today as it did when it left the factory. It is a watch that demonstrates how powerful restraint can be. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the right light the dial looks really great. The deep black surface acts almost like a stage for the polished markers and hands, creating strong contrast and exceptional legibility. The applied Omega logo and simple Genève signature provide just enough branding without disturbing the dial's balance. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe case is very balanced as well. The angular lugs flow directly from the case body, giving the watch a clean, integrated appearance that perfectly reflects the era's fascination with modern industrial design. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt has all of its original parts and 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 tonneau case with prominent lugs presents in mint condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts matte black dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs part of the restoration, it has just fully overhauled by a Master Watchmaker. It is running strong and true, keeping very accurate time in our testing recording position. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand 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 C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA five decade old Omega that looks like new on the wrist!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYour watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime.
