Overview
A classic example of 1970s Swiss horology, this Omega Genève features a distinctive 'TV-screen' or cushion-shaped case in a gold-toned finish.
Story
The 1970s was a decade of radical change in the watch world, as traditional mechanical makers fought to stay relevant during the 'Quartz Crisis.'
Maker / Origin
Founded in 1848, Omega has grown from a small workshop into one of the most recognized luxury brands in the world, famously serving as the official timekeeper for the Olympic Games and the first watch on the moon.
Condition & Value
The dial appears remarkably clean with no visible 'foxing' or moisture damage. The strap is a later replacement and shows some cracking, which is expected. The value would be at the higher end if the movement is confirmed to be running and keeping time.

Layer in sold comps, value drivers, and venue guidance.
Comparable demand stays strongest where maker, originality, and venue confidence line up. Broader examples still trade, but the range tightens quickly when provenance, condition, or selling lane fit is missing.
