Omega Geneve WG Plated Oval Matte Eggshell Dial Ref. 511.417 (circa 1973)

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, including horizontal ovals akin to the ergonomic Genève Dynamic (see our previous listings). This rarer variant has a white gold-plated case with a creamy eggshell dial. Powered by one of Omega’s most notable vintage calibres renowned for reliability, serviceability and beautiful ultra-thin form (one of Omega’s slimmest calibres ever). Substance, understated luxury and avant-garde form, yours at a steal!
