A crazy dial, blue turned purple. The Omega Geneve is already an amazing watch for vintage enthusiasts, but this is tenfold. A tropical dial from a big brand that is still affordable; you can't ask for more. It features an automatic movement with a quickest date, making it an easy watch to wear. We also paired it with our handmade alligator strap ($190 value) because it deserves it. We started our business with vintage Omegas and the love of the brand will never change. Even though now we rarely source Omegas like this for the shop, we always smile when one hits our desk.
A Brief History On The Omega DeVille - In the early 1950s, Omega introduced the word 'Geneve' to their 30mm watches, marking a significant milestone in the 1953 Geneva Observatory trials by setting multiple records. However, the success of their Professional line in the late 1950s negatively impacted the marketing of the Geneve line, leading to a disparity in retail prices. Despite this, the Geneve-branded Omega watches held significant value for those who appreciate design and precision. These watches used the same movements as other Omega timepieces but were not designed for sea depths or space flights. The O.G. watches were usually pared-back, cleaner, and had more negative space on the dial. They can still be found under a grand and under $500, containing the same movements as their more famous watches. The Omega Geneve watches are cool and can be found in various styles, including 50s and 60s staidness, 70s funk, and 80s computer cool styles. The watch has a nickname, the Omega O.G., and there is no waitlist for one.
