Vintage Omega Genève Square Dress Watch, c. 1973

Story

In the early 1970s, the watch world was undergoing a radical shift in geometry, moving away from traditional round cases toward bold, architectural shapes like this square design.

Maker / Origin

Founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt, Omega has been the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games since 1932 and famously went to the moon on the wrists of Apollo astronauts.

Condition & Value

The dial appears remarkably clean with no visible 'foxing' or spotting, which is excellent for its age. There is some expected wear on the gold plating, particularly at the sharp corners of the case, and the strap is a modern replacement.
