Here's a very spectacular and attractive vintage Omega Geneve Admiralty. It was originally sold to the Italian market. Solid stainless steel original unpolished case measures 35mm, excluding the crown (and crown guard) by 40.5mm lug tip to lug tip - with the crown guard the diamater is 37mm. The case model is 165.038 and is the uncommon short-lugs version. Factory original finish dial is in very good condition, with some circular blemishes around the center as can be seen in two of the images. Original signed crystal in great shape. Original signed crown. The professionally serviced automatic wind movement is an Omega calibre 552. The movement serial number is 27153198, dating this watch to 1968. It will come with a new 17mm handmade vintage-style genuine leather strap. The wrist size in the photo is 6 inches.
