The elongated Roman numerals add an unexpectedly elegant, almost fashion-forward character. Finished with the matching amethyst strap, it feels unmistakably vintage yet remarkably current, bold in color but still refined enough to wear as a serious dress watch. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough non-round watches are most often fitted with handwound movements, this model houses an automatic. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePowering the watch is its original caliber 1012 automatic movement with quick-setting date and higher jewel count (23 jewels). It is one of the 10xx series of movements that powered many of Omega's watches from the era including Seamasters and was even worked into a chronometer version.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt has all of its original parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration. It presents in gorgeous condition - a 9.7 out of 10.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts case presents as mint. Its original Omega dial has been meticulously refinished in royal amethyst - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs part of the restoration, it has just been fully overhauled by a Master Watchmaker (a $695 value.) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is running strong and extremely true, keeping time better than many brand new Omega watches in our testing recording position.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the finishing touch, it has been equipped with a brand new complementary colored calfskin leather strap and aftermarket Omega style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment. If you would like a more restrained look, a black strap would pair very nicely with it. A white strap could soften it further. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncluded 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\u003eYour 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eOmega Geneve:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOmega 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeginning 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/b\u003e Omega \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCountry of origin:\u003c\/b\u003e Switzerland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSerial number:\u003c\/b\u003e 36,145,811 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eYear built:\u003c\/b\u003e c. 1977\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e Geneve, Ref. ST 162.0052 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/b\u003e Hours, Minutes, Automatic, Quick-Setting Date, Sweep Seconds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDesigned for:\u003c\/b\u003e Men \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase material:\u003c\/b\u003e Stainless steel \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase markings (inside):\u003c\/b\u003e Omega Watch Co, Swiss Made, Acier Inoxydable, 162.0052\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase condition:\u003c\/b\u003e Mint\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 32mm wide (excluding crown), 39mm long lug tip-to-tip\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDial:\u003c\/b\u003e Royal amethyst, signed Omega Geneve, white painted Roman indexes, aperture for the date, original Omega dial expertly custom refinished\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHands:\u003c\/b\u003e Original, whitened steel \"batons\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMovement type:\u003c\/b\u003e Omega caliber 1012, signed Omega, manually wound, copper colored, 23 jewels, straight-line lever escapement, monometallic balance, shock absorber, self-compensating flat balance spring\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMovement markings:\u003c\/b\u003e Omega, Swiss, 1012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJewels:\u003c\/b\u003e 23 rubies \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBand:\u003c\/b\u003e Calfskin leather, complementary color, fully stitched, padded, brand new and unworn with an aftermarket buckle done in an Omega style.
