This is a very good price for a affordable introduction to Omega ownership.

This is my personal favouriteOmega model (Geneve) and Cal 1012. The movement is really nice looking, reliable and super good for appreciation value. It\'s working well.

Sweeping hand movement, looks and works wonderful.

Case measures 34mm not including the crown. Overall condition would be 7/10 so expect minor imperfections on the but as you can see from the high resolution photos the watch is in good condition. Please study the photos as this makes part of the description.

The inside of the stainless steel back is stamped with the model\'s serial number inside as you would expect. The movement itself is also stamped with the Omega logo and has a small panel with the calibre number and the identifying number. The dial is gold in colour which obviously compliments the bezel.

The reasons why Omega vintage watches are good to buy:

1.Value/Investment. They hold their value brilliantly and should actually increase in value over the next few years as they become rarer and rarer. Buying a brand new watch is like a car, as soon as it leaves the premises the prices drops by at least 20%. A vintage watch like this in excellent condition and serviced by a Omega specialist is very difficult to find.

2.Stealth Wealth. A leading American news commentator wrote an article regarding \"Stealth wealth\" - where this watch type is purchased by gentleman who tend to purchase things that are discrete and very sophisticated. Basically a subtle way to show off the exquisiteness of good taste.

I have excellent response from well over 900 sales. I have recently been upgraded to a \"Power Seller\". Therefore offer with complete confidence.

To drum up interest I am shipping Worldwide for this one. Any collector out there I\'m sure you would agree what a rare find this is. I can dispatch within 24 hours of payment being received. You will receive very fast.

8. Omega \"Pie Pan\" is used a term in the industry /collectors to describethe style dials from other models. The dial that has the hour/minute markers placed in a concentric ring that slopes down at a constant angle i.e, not rounded, from a raised flat center, and that the center is often a contrasting color or tone. This design usually commands a premium price and seen in the Constellation & De Ville models.

9. The Geneva Line, created in 1953, was made as an homage to our workshops in Geneva where OMEGAs best regulators were working. The line was finally discontinued in 1979 as the law in Geneva stipulates that a brand must have a presence in the canton of Geneva to include the word Geneva or any variation of on the dial.
