This is an extraordinary Omega Geneve watch that truly stands out in both craftsmanship and design. Featuring a unique ceramic two-tone blue and white racing-type factory original finish dial, it captures the essence of classic elegance with a sporty flair. The dial is accentuated by a fabulous set of original hands that complement its overall aesthetic beautifully. The dial shows a unique spider-web aging effect visible at certain angles and under certain lighting.
The watch retains its original signed acrylic crystal, which remains in great shape, adding to its vintage charm. Inside, you’ll find the professionally serviced Omega calibre 563 automatic wind movement, which is running solidly and accurately. This movement is known for its reliability and includes a convenient quick-set date feature, enhancing its functionality. The movement’s serial number, 33521131, dates this exceptional timepiece back to 1971, making it a remarkable find for vintage watch enthusiasts.
The original solid stainless steel case, model number 166.041, is in very good unpolished condition, a testament to the care it has received over the years. The case measures 34.3mm across, excluding the crown, and 40.5mm from lug tip to lug tip—perfectly sized for a variety of wrist sizes.
For added comfort and style, the watch will come with a new 18mm genuine leather strap, ensuring it's ready for daily wear. The wrist size shown in the photo is 6 inches, demonstrating how the watch sits beautifully on the wrist.
