Geneve in Steel, circa 1973
This Omega Automatic Geneve from circa 1973 presents a classic early-1970s profile: a 36 mm steel case with 44 mm lug-to-lug and an acrylic crystal that preserves the period look. Its original dial and signed crown sit neatly on a calf leather strap, offering restrained daily elegance. At the heart is Omega’s automatic Caliber 1022 with 23 jewels, a reliable movement in the brand’s mid-century catalogue. Recently serviced (2026-06-08), the watch combines historical character with practical readiness, making it an appealing choice for a collector seeking a wearable example of Omega’s vintage engineering.
