Today's offering showcases this retro styled example of one of Omega's classic vintage Geneve double quick-setting watches in gorgeous restored condition. Our photos couldn't begin to do it justice.
It is a classic retro Omega with tonneau case, integrated bracelet, day and date functions and caliber 1020 automatic movement.
Here are some of its features:
* Pioneering "double quick-set" day and date features - Omega created the caliber 1020 and 1022 movements with a double quick-set capability for convenient setting of the day and date. Though many connoisseurs associate the idea of the double quick-set watch with Rolex, which first offered the President model with this "new" feature in late 1990, Omega was a pioneer of the technology in large scale production watches, evidenced by this example made about a decade before.
* Full size retro case - Its diameter is 35mm, one millimeter smaller than a Rolex Datejust
* Strong black dial
* Faster beat (28,800 bph) balance system for greater accuracy
It has all of its original parts down to even the original Omega signed crystal and Omega waterproofing seal!
It had just finished a true expertly done restoration and presents in gorgeous condition - on the wrist it presents like new.
The case is just short of perfect mint with the slightest remnants of wear to the underside of the lugs. The top would originally have been gold plated. On the wrist, it presents as absolutely perfect mint - a 10.0 out of 10.0. The original Omega dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye.
As part of the restoration, a Master Watchmaker has overhauled the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing any overly worn components, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $595 value).
It continues to keep extremely accurate time in our testing recording position.
Included 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 attesting to its performance.
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 special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.
