This is a watch that I bought a bit by chance. A seller I knew was putting it up for sale and I was tempted because I have always liked gold watches visually without taking the plunge. It is a really endearing watch and I find it superb. It is truly the elegant watch par excellence. Less popular than the Seamaster, I find that the Geneva range is just as interesting with a variety of dials, indexes of colors to infinity....there is something for everyone. The model presented is gold-plated, it is recognizable because the case back is in steel.

My first gold watch

Do we still need to introduce it? I think we have here the best of the old (aluminum insert) and the new. The watch is very qualitative. The red and black insert is for me the nicest and offers the pep(i) expected for the watch. The watch is very pleasant to wear because it is not too thick and a perfect diameter for me. I recommend it!

The best of both worlds

This watch is incredible, surely the most comfortable to wear that I have in my collection. The jubilee bracelet is very flexible, the dial is superb with slightly champagne reflections. I love the fluted bezel-jubilee bracelet combo. Some will say that it's too much but I love it. I was able to find this model from my year of birth so it adds a little something to the watch. In short, I love it especially in size 36 with my small wrist.

The datejust of my birth year

I had spotted this watch when it was released on the Japanese market and then I had abandoned the idea because of the potential customs duties. But as soon as it was released on the European market I did not hesitate given the price. You really get your money's worth. Here we have a watch that is a bit different from the traditional Seiko (just as recommendable however). The dial makes the whole watch for me. I may regret the slightly large diameter and suddenly the dial looks a bit empty but it remains one of the watches that I wear regularly.

The perfect watch to start with

Watch purchased in 2018 without a waiting list. It was really my holy grail at the time (now I have another one). The watch is really perfect. The strap is incredibly high quality, without any play and greatly contributes to the quality aspect of the watch. I do not regret my purchase. Too bad that at the time you couldn't choose inserts in several colors like now.

The reference sub

<p dir="ltr">Founded in <strong>1848</strong>, <strong>Omega</strong> is one of the oldest and most respected brand in the industry. The story of Omega is punctuated by innovations, technological achievements and a constant quest for precision. Steeped in exploration and adventure and closely associated with the conquest of the Moon, the brand has left an indelible mark on global watchmaking.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">History of the Omega brand</h2>
<p dir="ltr">In La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, a young man named Louis Brandt opened a watch assembly workshop. Using parts from various local artisans, he builds and sells his watches throughout Europe. These first watches simply bore his name, but it was the beginning of what would become a global brand. After his death in 1879, his sons took over the business and introduced revolutionary manufacturing techniques. In 1894, <strong>a new caliber for pocket watches was introduced, named "Omega"</strong>, symbolizing the ultimate achievement in watchmaking. It was so successful that the company would later adopt the name as a brand.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">The conquest of precision (1900-1940)</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The 20th century saw Omega rise as a dominant force in the field of watchmaking precision. In 1931, Omega watches won all the prizes during chronometry tests at the Geneva Observatory. This quest for precision led the brand to be chosen as <strong>official timekeeper of the Olympic Games from 1932</strong>, a title it still holds today.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Innovations et exploits (1940-1970)</h3>
<p dir="ltr">During and after World War II, Omega supplied watches to the British armed forces, cementing its reputation for reliability and durability. It was also at this time that the Seamaster was launched, a waterproof watch designed to withstand the most difficult conditions.</p>
<p dir="ltr">These thirty glorious years saw the launch of the Omega Seamaster in 1948 and the Omega Constellation in 1952. But it was the Speedmaster, introduced in 1957, which stood out the most. In 1965, <strong>it was officially chosen by NASA to accompany astronauts on space missions</strong>, and in 1969, it became the first watch worn on the moon, earning the nickname "Moonwatch".</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">The dark years (1970-2000)</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Faced with the rise of Japanese quartz watches, Omega is fighting to maintain its position. The brand launches <strong>its own quartz watch, the "Marine Chronometer"</strong>, which is recognized as one of the most precise quartz watches ever produced. Omega, like the entire Swiss watch industry, is very impacted by this new competition from Japan and must significantly reduce its workforce.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The 90s saw a resurgence of interest in luxury mechanical watches, and Omega, with its classic models and innovations, such as the co-axial movement, remained at the forefront.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">The new millennium (2000 to the present)</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The 21st century sees Omega go from strength to strength with famous collaborations and ambassadors, such as James Bond and actor Daniel Craig. Innovative technologies, such as movements resistant to magnetic fields and the use of materials such as ceramic, demonstrate the brand's desire to combine tradition and modernity.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">What are the main models of the Omega brand?</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/speedmaster">Omega Speedmaster</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Omega Speedmaster collection is one of the most iconic and recognized watch ranges in the world. Launched in 1957, the Speedmaster was initially designed to meet the needs of motorsport professionals, with its distinctive tachometer for measuring speed.</p>
<p dir="ltr">However, it is best known for its role in space exploration. In 1965, after rigorous testing, NASA selected the Speedmaster as its official watch for all manned missions. It was worn during the first lunar landing in 1969 by astronaut Buzz Aldrin and has since been nicknamed "<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/speedmaster_moonwatch">Moonwatch</a>".</p>
<p dir="ltr">Aside from its space pedigree, the Speedmaster is also appreciated for its timeless design and robust mechanics. Over the years, Omega has introduced many variations of the Speedmaster such as the Omega Speedmaster Mark II, Mark III or Omega Speedmaster 38. It is often considered a must-have watch for collectors and watch enthusiasts.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/seamaster">Omega Seamaster</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Omega Seamaster collection, introduced in 1948, is one of the oldest and most popular luxury watches. Originally designed as a dive watch, it combines robust functionality with elegant design. <strong>Water resistance and durability have been key features</strong> of the Seamaster from its inception. Over time, this collection has evolved, encompassing a diverse range of models from professional diving watches to sophisticated pieces suitable for formal occasions.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A notable turning point for the Seamaster was its association with James Bond. Since 1995, with the film "GoldenEye", James Bond has worn a Seamaster in almost all of his films, cementing his status as a cultural icon.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">The different variants, such as<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/seamaster_300m"> Seamaster Diver 300M</a>, the Aqua Terra or the Planet Ocean or the PLOPROF show the adaptability of the collection to various needs and aesthetic preferences. Each watch is a reflection of Omega's watchmaking expertise and commitment to quality and innovation.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/seamaster_planet_ocean_600m_co-axial_master_chronometer">Omega Planet Ocean</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Seamaster Planet Ocean collection, first introduced in 2005, is a modern homage to Omega's rich maritime heritage. These watches are true diving instruments, offering water resistance of up to 60 ATM. They often feature ceramic bezels, dials with luminescent indexes, and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.&nbsp;</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/seamaster_aqua_terra">Omega Aqua Terra</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Seamaster Aqua Terra is another illustrious member of the Seamaster family, launched in the early 2000s. With its aesthetic inspired by the wooden decks of luxury yachts, the Aqua Terra is a perfect mix between a dive watch and a dress watch. It is water resistant to 150 meters and is equally suited to a day at the office or a trip to the sea. The Aqua Terra has also been a showcase for some of Omega's most recent innovations, including co-axial movement and improved resistance to magnetic fields, making these watches some of the most reliable and precise timepieces available.</p>
<p dir="ltr">These two models, like the previous ones, reflect Omega's ongoing commitment to combining technical innovation with timeless design. They embody all the diversity of the Seamaster collection.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/constellation">Omega Constellation</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Omega Constellation collection, introduced in 1952, is the <strong>symbol of excellence in watchmaking and design</strong>. Known for its timeless elegance, the Constellation is a demonstration of Omega's expertise in precision and craftsmanship. Distinctive for its unique claws on the case, which were originally intended to ensure the water resistance of the watch, it has become one of the characteristic features of the Constellation design.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Over time, Omega has continued to innovate within this collection, introducing new movements, designs and materials, while maintaining the distinctive character and elegance of the Constellation. The range has branched out to include models for men and women, offering a variety of sizes, dials and straps.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/de_ville">Omega De Ville</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The <strong>Omega De Ville collection is a reflection of refinement and urban elegance</strong> within Omega's extensive portfolio. Introduced in the 1960s, the De Ville was created as a more dressy and contemporary line, distinguishing itself from the brand's sports and diving watches.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Since its beginnings, the De Ville has been synonymous with sophistication and technical innovation. While preserving a classic design, it has often been the testing ground for Omega's new watchmaking technologies, such as reducing the complexity of movement components or the introduction of Co-Axial movements.&nbsp;With its clean lines and minimalist aesthetic, the De Ville collection is perfect for a professional setting or formal occasions. It includes several sub-collections, including the famous Hour Vision, Ladymatic and Tresor, each bringing its own touch of distinction.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Sophistication and simplicity. Designed for those who appreciate understated luxury, the De Ville is elegant while being technically impressive. Co-Axial movements and varied designs, ranging from simple models to complications like the tourbillon.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/geneve">Omega Geneva</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">In the 1950s and into the 1970s, the name &ldquo;Geneva&rdquo; was associated with the Omega watch line intended <strong>to honor the birthplace of Swiss watchmaking, Geneva</strong>. This range was meant to reflect the high quality standards for which the city was known. The Geneva model was finally integrated into the DeVille collection. Featuring a sober and elegant design, the Omega Gen&egrave;ve was appreciated for its versatility, being both a dress watch and suitable for everyday use and positioned at that time as an entry-level Omega.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/dynamic">Omega Dynamic</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">First launched in 1967, the Omega Dynamic is a distinctive model with a very '70s design. Initially designed as a watch for the younger generation, it had an elliptical case shape and colorful dials, reflecting the bold aesthetic of the era. Later, in the 1990s, the Dynamic was relaunched with a very different design inspired by pilot watches, under the name Omega Dynamic III.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Omega Seamaster Omegamatic</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Combining the precision of quartz with the autonomy of an automatic watch, the Omegamatic, launched in the 1990s, is a hybrid auto-quartz watch. It uses a rotor, similar to that of automatic watches, to charge a battery which powers a quartz movement, thus providing exceptional precision while retaining certain mechanical elements.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Omega Polaris</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Introduced in the 1980s, the Omega Polaris collection is remarkable for its unique design combining stainless steel and gold, often in a surprising so-called "two-tone" construction. These watches were equipped with quartz movements and equipped with complications, such as alarms or chronographs Their geometric aesthetic and multi-layered design made them immediately recognizable and accessible at low prices on the vintage market.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Each of these models brings a unique touch to the rich history of the Omega house, demonstrating its ability to innovate and adapt to changing watchmaking trends while remaining true to its roots of quality and precision.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">How much does an Omega watch cost?</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Prices for Omega watches change every year, but <strong>most Omega models cost between $3,500 and $40,000</strong>. An Omega De Ville Prestige Co-Axial Chronometer costs $3,500 while an Omega Speedmaster in yellow gold Sedna costs $45,800. The second-hand market is also an opportunity to look at buying an Omega potentially cheaper than new.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Omega: Eclectic models for all tastes&nbsp;</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The story of Omega is one of a relentless quest for precision, innovation and excellence. From its humble beginnings in a small Swiss workshop to its presence on the moon, in the depths of the ocean and on the Olympic slopes, <strong>Omega has demonstrated its watchmaking mastery time</strong> and again. As a pioneer, innovator and explorer, Omega continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in the world of luxury watchmaking. Omega stands out for its fusion of styles, performance and history. Whether exploring the depths of the ocean, timing Olympic athletes, or accompanying astronauts into space, Omega has proven its excellence time and time again.</p>

Omega Genève Date Automatic Gold Plated: A Classic Elegance of the 70s

My Omega Genève dates from 1973, it perfectly embodies the refinement and innovation of Swiss watchmaking of that era. With its gold-plated case, its reliable automatic movement, and its sober but elegant design, this watch has spanned the decades while retaining all its nobility and charm.

A Distinguished and Refined Design: The 35 mm gold-plated case (excluding the crown) offers a discreet elegance, specific to the 70s, where elegance was never ostentatious but always striking. I opted for a brown leather strap, matching the gold tones of the case, adds a touch of classicism and comfort to the wrist. Despite its 50 years of age, the Genève retains a timeless design, perfectly suited to all occasions.

A Reliable and Precise Movement: This watch is powered by an Omega 1012 automatic Caliber, a mechanical movement renowned for its precision and durability. With its comfortable **power reserve** and the presence of a Complication date at 3 o'clock, it is both practical and efficient, while offering the Swiss know-how characteristic of Omega. 

A Compact and Comfortable Case: The 35 mm diameter, although ideal for a vintage watch, remains perfectly suited to modern wrists, while the 18 mm lug width allows the watch to be personalized with different bracelets to suit each style. 

An Essential Watchmaking Heritage: This Omega Genève is much more than a simple timepiece, it is a collector's piece that captures the spirit and elegance of the 70s. Its combination of neat design and technical performance makes it a must-have watch for any vintage watch enthusiast. The appeal of gold plating, combined with Omega's reputation, makes this model a precious and timeless piece to own or pass on.

Geneva Date Automatic Gold Plated

My first inheritance, my Omega Genève automatic with its silver dial with multiple reflections. It's 2014 and I have the opportunity to buy a Rolex Daytona in a store, I don't have the money but I start talking about watches and really get interested in them! My father brings me this Omega Genève that he has never worn or almost never. 

- "Here, you will wear it, I don't wear it and I had kept it for you". 

I put it on my wrist, tell myself that it is maybe small, strangely my colleague notices it on my wrist the next morning, nice old lady he tells me. I like the fact of wearing a classic and something other than what is fashionable, this watch will not leave me for 4 years. It is versatile, suit, wedding, for a drink, passe-partout, bohemian, in town or on vacation in Mykonos, it goes with everything and that's what I like about it. Okay, it doesn't go in the water but since I swim like a fool...
It's the beginning of everything and despite a financial offer that I can't refuse, I couldn't part with it. Vintage is the value that we want to give to the object.


My first heritage, the one that fueled my Vintage Passion

I bought this little Geneva in a pretty pitiful state, after a quick visit to my watchmaker for a complete overhaul and a little bracelet polishing it came back to life. I find its blue dial super cool, it's a very pleasant watch to wear, the size is perfect for me with its 70's look with its integrated bracelet I love it and it can be worn on all occasions.

Omega Geneve blue dial

This Omega Genève "Türler" reference 166.099 gold plated, represents the first vintage watch in the collection. It features the caliber 1481 present at Omega and Tissot in the 70s, whose particularity is the rapid date change by pressing the crown, and allowing a very appreciable finesse to the watch.

How did a young man in his twenties fall for a second-hand watch from the last century, you might say?

Surely by becoming tired of always seeing the same watches on the wrists or on the networks.
Paradoxically, it is the timeless seventies look that inspires today's new releases that made it easier for me to take the plunge into vintage.

Its entirely golden appearance, especially its sunny gold dial, may seem flashy. However, the contained diameter of the 34mm case makes it just a simply solar watch.
The inscription "Türler" on the dial reinforces the unique side of the piece.

Gold and 70’s

I bought this watch at auction for several reasons! I really like Omega, which has shown immense - even crazy - creativity with a phenomenal diversity of models. I am a fan of 70s styles and this Omega Genève is no exception. Finally, the dial is both simple and fantastic with its grooves like on a 33 rpm record! Here we are, for someone of my generation, 33 rpm records sound like the good old days of high school with all the groups that accompanied my youth. The Genève collection - like the Dynamic collection - was positioned by the brand as the Omega entry level with less noble calibers. Not being a watchmaker, I can't say whether this means or not ;-) An interesting feature of this caliber is the rapid date change by pulling and pushing the crown! Original and functional, even if it probably shouldn't be overused. Last but not least, the case is completely detached from the bracelet with an ingenious system - similar once again with the Dynamic collection - and which allowed you to change the bracelet (steel or leather) to change the aesthetics of your watch... An original idea? Perhaps, but one that has been taken up many times since then...

A great success with accomplished aesthetics

This is the latest arrival in my collection. 70s style as often with still very prominent angles on the case. It is equipped with the Omega 1481 caliber widely used by the brand during the 70s. I had been eyeing it for a while for its discreet proportions all in finesse, and its confidential notoriety compared to the Speedmaster and other Seamaster or Constellation. Although it is not extra-thin strictly speaking, it gives the visual feeling of being so. Its 34mm diameter seems larger given the configuration of the bracelet integrated into the case. It is a simple watch with a very characteristic sharp line, which fits perfectly into my collection. Purchase price at auction (including fees) €450 Nice catch ;-)

She has everything a big girl has. Reference 166099

This series manufactured between 1967 and 1974 has nothing to envy the new Tissot PRX type watches... Even after 50 years, this watch keeps its shape and is still in service, it is a high quality watch. After having given it a little overhaul and polishing, it is good for at least 50 years. Apart from the bracelet which has taken a little play over time, it remains perfectly wearable. This blue dial which accompanies it is magnificent, it is a navy blue in the sun and darkens with the reflections. In addition to its small size between 34 and 35 mm it is versatile and discreet.

An Omega Geneva that hasn't aged a day

This little Omega has been part of my collection for a while now, and is not really new. Case called Jumbo for the time with its 38mm a domed plexi glass 
This nugget has 2 particularities, the first being its tuning fork caliber, which gives it its nickname of bumblebee caliber, because it purrs like a bee. The second particularity and this one is linked to my watch, is its dial called spider, we are not going to lie to each other it is a dial defect that flakes or rather cracks over time, it gives a spider web effect which depending on the angles of the light is visible, or not. We like it or not, but think well that if it is mine and well personally I love it


Omega Geneva F300

An impulse purchase at first that actually became a love at first sight.
We love new watches in stores, but I really wanted to treat myself to a vintage one for the charm, the history and for a lower price.
My eye quickly fell on an Omega to have a watch from a big brand at a price that has nothing to do with today's.
So I started looking and looking... In the end, it was by chance on a Facebook group that I came across this little Geneva in very good condition and which does not look like all the other Genevas with this blue dial.

My first vintage

This little vintage Omega from the 70s caught my eye during an auction and has just joined me. She's doing well, the granny! 36 by 41, "TV" shaped dial, champagne background and her good old caliber 1012 which is a bit messed up anyway. The bracelet which is attached right in the middle of the case is very reduced at the clip which already had the fine adjustment. On the wrist it has a small integrated bracelet style, is very light and its champagne dial stands out well. We won't go diving or playing sports with this granny who prefers dinners in town or slow walks. Well she's from the 70s, she's more "middle-aged"...

A vintage TV style granny

What I like about Omega is diversity and the improbable! What is the connection between this Genève, a PLOPROF or a Seamaster Diver 300M? None! And yes, that's the beauty of Omegas from the 70s that go in all directions.

This watch is reference 198.0030 (198 meaning in particular that it is an electronic caliber in any case not mechanical). Omega has done everything in terms of movement and in this case it is the caliber 1310 working with a battery. The originality is the presence on the side of two small buttons allowing to advance the date or the day of the week and to move the minute hand. It is interesting to understand and use these buttons for the historical dimension but in terms of use it is quite fragile and not very practical!

Its look is great even if the case is a little damaged. I put a firecracker red strap on it to give it some pep and match the Omega logo presented in an original way at noon. The buckle is not original either but aftermarket probably made in Asia.

Morality, what is the point of having such a watch? I like Omega in its diversity and I am attached to understanding and identifying all the types of electronic calibers that accompanied the watch industry during its transition from exclusively mechanical movements to electronic precision. The 15 years from 1965 to 1980 were fantastic in creativity to try to resist the quartz ogre that will have swept almost everything away.

But let's not be mistaken, the watchmaking that we love today is also the fruit of the creative destruction of Quartz 👍

Another Omega Geneva, much more confidential

<p>La marque <strong>Ollech &amp; Wajs</strong> a &eacute;t&eacute; cr&eacute;&eacute;e en <strong>1956</strong> par Joseph Ollech et Albert Wajs &agrave; Zurich en Suisse.
