Omega Genève from circa 1973
This Omega Automatic Genève ref. 1660117 captures the restrained elegance of the early 1970s with its clean dial, sharp indices and a 35 mm steel case. The watch is equipped with an acrylic crystal and an original crown, seated on a calf leather strap for period-correct presentation. Powering the piece is the automatic Caliber 1022 with 23 jewels, a reliable workhorse of the era. For a contemporary collector, this Genève offers wearable proportions, clear provenance and a mechanical movement that reflects Omega’s mid-century engineering and daily practicality.
