Description
The 33mm case, crafted in solid 14k yellow gold, is slim at just 8.5mm thick, making it ideal for formal wear. Its polished surfaces and slim bezel frame a minimalist silver dial, where fine baton hour markers and slender hands reflect the era’s preference for clean, modern aesthetics. The date window at 3 o’clock adds a practical touch without disrupting the dial’s symmetry. A domed plexiglass crystal completes the vintage profile, offering a warm, slightly distorted view that collectors often favor.
Inside beats Omega’s Caliber 613, a manual-winding movement with 17 jewels and a quick-set date function, a notable convenience for its time.
While the Genève line was Omega’s entry-level offering, the 132.041 stands out due to its solid gold construction, a rarity among its predominantly gold-plated peers. This elevates its desirability among collectors seeking understated elegance with intrinsic value.
The Omega Genève Ref. 132.041 offers a compelling blend of classic design, mechanical reliability, and precious metal craftsmanship. Its modest dimensions and clean lines make it a versatile addition to any collection, particularly for those who appreciate the subtle sophistication of vintage dress watches.

What you should know:
