Today's offering showcases this gorgeously restored example of one of Omega's classic vintage Geneve watches.

It has an elegant dress style case, distinctive black vignette dial, and a high grade handwound Omega movement.

Its tropical style 18K gold plated case with a steel back has the look of a solid gold Omega for a fraction of the cost.

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, 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 era.

It has all of its original parts even down to its original signed crystal! It has just finished a true expertly done restoration and presents in gorgeous condition.

Its case presents as mint. Its black vignette dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye.

As part of the restoration it has just been overhauled by a Master Watchmaker (a $495 value.) It is running very strong and true, keeping time essentially on par with a new Omega in our testing recording position.

For the finishing touch it has been equipped with a brand new leather strap and aftermarket Omega style buckle 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 special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.

Omega Geneve:
Omega watches can be found on the wrists of many prominent figures including Pierce Brosnan, Michael Schumacher, Michael Phelps, Ernie Els, and Prince William, and one graced the wrist of President John F. Kennedy. Omega has been the official timekeeper for 21 Olympic Games and is the official chronometer of NASA.

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