Story
The name 'Genève' was originally a tribute to the city where Omega's best watchmakers worked and where the brand consistently won precision timing awards at the Geneva Observatory.
Maker / Origin
Founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt, Omega has become one of the most recognized names in horology, famous for being the first watch on the moon and the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games.
Condition & Value
The dial shows age-related spotting and a distinct scratch between the 3 and 5 o'clock markers. There is visible wear to the gold plating on the lugs, exposing the base metal beneath, and the strap is a modern replacement.
