Description

The Dial

The silver dial is a study in minimalism, offering a smooth sunburst finish that plays beautifully with the light. Thin black stick markers add a subtle contrast, while the slim baton hands keep the design clean and easy to read. A discreet date window at 3 o’clock blends seamlessly into the layout, adding practicality without disrupting the symmetry. There are no unnecessary design elements here—just a well-balanced, legible dial that remains effortlessly stylish no matter the occasion.

The Case

At 36mm, the stainless steel case has the perfect proportions for a vintage dress watch, offering a comfortable fit on the wrist without feeling too small. The case design is simple yet well-executed, featuring a mix of brushed and polished surfaces that enhance its understated elegance. The slim profile allows it to slide easily under a cuff, making it a great option for both formal and casual wear. The screw-down case back ensures durability, while the signed Omega crown adds a final touch of authenticity.

The Movement

Inside, the Omega Caliber 1012 keeps things running smoothly. Introduced in the early 1970s, this automatic movement was part of Omega’s effort to create slimmer, more precise calibers. It features a quickset date function for easy adjustments and a hacking seconds mechanism, allowing for precise time-setting. Known for its reliability and efficient winding system, the Cal. 1012 is a movement that, when properly maintained, continues to perform well decades after its original production. This Genève isn’t just about looks—it’s a well-engineered timepiece built to last.

  • Sturdy movement

Ce qu'il faut savoir :

  • Sauf indication contraire, il est courant que les montres anciennes ne soient pas accompagnées de leur boîte et de leurs papiers. Dans les rares cas où une montre est livrée avec sa boîte et ses papiers, cela sera mentionné dans la description. Tous les achats sont accompagnés d'une boîte à montres en bois noir sur mesure et d'une carte de garantie.
