This early Omega Genève features a beautifully preserved silver two tone dial, a detail that subtly elevates the watch’s aesthetic. The contrast between the circular white center and the outer grey ring gives the dial a refined sense of depth. Applied markers and polished dauphine hands reflect the design language of the late 1950s, exuding elegance without excess. The applied Omega logo sits proudly beneath 12 o’clock, while a simple minute track frames the dial with precision. Remarkably clean and evenly aged, this dial is a rare survivor from a transitional period in Omega’s design history—where modernism met classicism.

The case & movement
The 34mm stainless steel case, reference 14702, features thin lugs and a slim bezel that gives the watch a sleek wrist presence while maintaining a timeless silhouette. The case remains sharp and well-defined, showing minimal signs of wear, suggesting careful use over the years. Inside beats the Omega caliber 552, a no-date, full rotor automatic movement known for its reliability and clean architecture. Introduced in the late 1950s, the 552 was one of Omega’s workhorse calibers—highly regarded for its performance and longevity. This movement exemplifies Omega’s pursuit of mechanical excellence at a time when in-house production still reigned supreme.
Accompanying the watch is its original vintage Omega buckle—a small but significant detail that adds both value and completeness to the piece. The watch is fitted on a new high-quality leather strap, pairing comfort with a classic look.
This Omega Genève Ref. 14702 is an outstanding example of early Genève design before the line was officially separated into its own collection in the mid-1960s. With its two tone dial, sharp case, and high-grade automatic movement, it offers a quiet sophistication that stands out to the trained eye. Whether you're starting a vintage collection or looking to add a well-preserved piece from the golden age of Swiss watchmaking, this Genève is a strong and stylish choice.
