Omega Genève Ref. 166.0098 (1972) – Gold Vintage Watch with White Linen Dial

The Omega Genève Ref. 166.0098 from 1972 is a beautiful vintage watch with an elegant white linen dial and a gold-colored case. The model was freshly serviced by us in July 2026 and is in excellent overall condition.

Particularly noteworthy is the still present original Omega acrylic crystal, which is in mint condition. The watch has been thoroughly checked, and all functions are working perfectly. The excellently running Omega Caliber 1481 makes this timepiece a particularly beautiful choice for lovers of classic vintage Omega watches.

Case & Design

The 34 mm gold-colored case is in very good condition.

The case has been professionally cleaned and highly polished. The classic design of the Genève from the early 1970s is thus particularly well showcased.

The combination of the warm gold-colored case and the light dial gives the watch an elegant and timeless appeal.

White Linen Dial

The white dial is in very good condition.

Particularly interesting is the fine linen texture, which gives the dial a subtle texture depending on the light. The structured design is a characteristic detail of many attractive vintage Omega models and ensures a particularly elegant look.

Together with the gold-colored case, a classic vintage look is created that is both understated and exceptionally stylish.

Original Omega Acrylic Crystal

A special highlight is the still present original Omega acrylic crystal.

The crystal is in mint condition and has only been carefully polished. For collectors, a preserved original crystal is a nice detail, as it contributes to the authenticity and originality of the timepiece.
