Omega Geneva Date - Automatic steel watch

Caliber 565, circa 1969-1970.

Classic, elegant, and reliable, this Omega Genève perfectly represents Swiss watchmaking of the 1960s. Powered by the renowned Omega automatic caliber 565, it offers an excellent balance of slimness, robustness, and everyday wearing comfort.

Its silver dial shows slight, even discoloration that now gives it a soft and authentic patina. The overall presentation remains particularly coherent, with its applied hour markers, original hands, and date display at 3 o’clock. A watch that has retained all of its vintage charm without excessive restoration.

The stainless steel case has ideal proportions for a dress watch, with an elegant presence on the wrist while remaining discreet. A few normal signs of wear are visible throughout, consistent with its age.
