Omega Genève Gold Dial Date (1973) – warm aesthetic with original crystal
A gold dial in a gold-plated case – this harmonious gold-on-gold look perfectly captures the warm, unmistakable charm of the 1970s. This Omega Genève from 1973 showcases exactly this aesthetic, complemented by a practical date display and the original acrylic crystal.
Warm look, original crystal
The gold dial with date window is in very good condition and harmonizes beautifully with the gold-plated case. The case has been professionally refinished and is in good condition for its age; the bezel has been polished to a high shine and looks very well-maintained. The original acrylic crystal has been freshly polished and is in very good condition. The presentation is completed by a new leather strap as well as a strap in like-new condition. The case back is in good, age-appropriate condition.
