About the watch & condition:
Here we have a stunning Omega Genève Electronic on a nice black leather strap.This watch is running smoothly and works well however timekeeping is a bit all over the place. I’ve tested it over multiple 24 hour periods and had 1 where is lost 5 minutes and others where it’s lost 1 hour 30 mins. Timekeeping seems to be a common issue amongst these watches but with a service it will be completely ready to wear. It also comes with its original receipt! More details below!
This watch has an excellent looking golden dial which is in stunning condition. There’s a microscopic mark just to the left of the date window but it’s very hard to see! The crystal is the original and is in excellent condition. There is some light scratches but these could easily be polished up!
This watch is technically a quartz watch however the second hand sweeps like an automatic movement, super cool & ahead of their time back in the 1970’s!
The case is gold plated and is in great condition as shown, there’s some light scratches as shown no fading etc which is what you usually see! The crown work’s completely fine along with the quickset date and has the Omega logo on which is always nice.
It’s sat on a nice black leather strap which suits the watch very well. It will fit a wrist of up to 8 inches which is a great size for most. Condition wise there’s some minor general wear but it’s got tonnes of life left in it!
This watch is a battery powered watch which means it runs from a battery, no need to reset the time each time the watch is worn.
This is just for the watch and the original receipt as shown in the photos. There is no box though, this is common for vintage watches.
