Description
A remarkable vintage Omega Genève produced in 1973, preserved in almost perfect condition. The gold-plated case retains its entirely original finish and remains unpolished, with a beautiful brushed finish on the sides and a high-polished bezel. The white dial is in incredible condition, featuring a subtle sunburst effect, golden details with black lacquer, and a date window at 3 o’clock. There is only a very faint patina spot around the Genève text and another barely visible spot near the 4 o’clock hour marker. Inside is the automatic Omega Caliber 1012, recently fully serviced in October 2026 and now running and functioning excellently. The watch is fitted with its original black Omega leather strap and original Omega buckle. It is entirely original and comes with its original papers, confirming its purchase on 5 May 1976 in Osaka, Japan. The caseback is engraved as a 15-year service award presented to an employee. Overall, an exceptional time capsule, remarkably well preserved and kept in near-mint condition.
