This Omega Geneve triple gold look watch has the nice calibre 565 movement, and rare Omega fixoflex bracelet.  Model reference 166.0041.

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

Not everyone likes the fixoflex expanding bracelets, as some (especially the cheap copies) can be hair pullers.  But it is so unusual to have the original Omega signed fixoflex still attached to the watch that there is no way we think of separating the two.  The bracelet has been cleaned in our ultrasonic bath, and could be swapped for a leather strap if preferred.  Both the bracelet and case are gold plated, and that is showing some wear but that is to be expected.  The gold dial is quite clean, completing the triple gold look, and only the crown has lost its gold plating – this could be replaced but a brand new crown would make the wear on the case stand out more so it isn’t advised.  The Omega calibre 565 is a very nice thing, with swan neck fine adjustment and 24 jewels.  It has quick set date which is operated by pulling the crown outwards.

This watch will be supplied with the original presentation box, and our Certificate of Authenticity.
