WHY WE CURATED IT:
Genève models are some of the best value Omegas. Initially a flagship dress line in the 50s, Genèves took a backseat in the 60s as Speedmasters/Seamasters rose to fame. But Omega kept refining the collection, bringing affordability through simpler cases without compromising mechanical quality. By the late 60s–70s, they experimented with bold shapes, so this one is relatively tame with its wide-appeal hybrid cushion-tonneau shape we sometimes see in vintage skin divers. Love the expansive, gently domed silver sunburst dial with those broad indices featuring onyx black inlays for legibility. Equipped with a respected, solid, robust and serviceable Omega Cal. 613 from the 6xx series. Dripping with classic vintage charm, with a somewhat toolwatch/elegance contrast and excellent wearability!
