These ladies Omega Genève vintage watches are outstanding value for money. Model reference 511.213.
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
From the serial number on the movement we can accurately date this watch to being made in 1968.
CONDITION
Omega are not based in Geneva, but the Genève range was named after the observatory timekeeping competitions held in Geneva to see who could make the most accurate watches. Those competitions stopped (arguably after Grand Seiko models started winning!), but the branding worked well for the Swiss company. The case on this Genève is 20 micron gold plated, and all in good condition. The dial is clean, and the 17 jewel, adjusted in two positions, Omega calibre 620 movement is setting and winding well via the original signed crown. When you see inside these it is remarkable that you can buy this mechanical Omega watch for so little money (for comparison, the cheapest new ladies Omega is a quartz watch that will cost £2,130). The leather strap is new, and could be swapped for a different colour if preferred.
This watch will be supplied with the original presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.

From 1st September 2021 we will be planting a tree for every watch we sell, working with the International Tree Foundation (Est 1922) to make this business positive on carbon. By buying anything pre owned you are effectively reusing what already exists, but this takes it further and makes us feel good.
