Omega Genève Automatic Gold Dial (1974) – Warm Appearance, Freshly Serviced
A gold dial in a gold-colored case – that's a look that perfectly captures the 1970s. This Omega Genève from 1974 combines precisely this warm, unmistakable appearance with an automatic movement that was freshly serviced in August 2026 and is now running reliably and precisely again.
Warm Design with a Well-Maintained Overall Appearance
The golden dial is in an age-appropriately good condition and harmonizes beautifully with the gold-plated 36mm case. Before sale, the case was professionally re-finished and the bezel polished to a high shine, so both now present themselves in a well-maintained condition. The original acrylic crystal has been freshly polished and is in very good condition, as is the case back. The appearance is rounded off by a new leather strap and a strap in like-new condition – a Genève that authentically preserves its warm 70s charm.
