The Omega Genève Reference 166.0099 is a beautifully preserved vintage men's watch from 1972, driven by an automatic Caliber 1481. The 36 mm stainless steel case presents a classic, versatile presence that remains highly popular among collectors and wearers. The original grey dial shows an attractive patina of small white dots that adds character while the hands and hour indices remain very well preserved. The watch has a fully new, immaculate plexiglass crystal and a screwed caseback ensuring a solid feel on the wrist.
The watch comes on its original Omega bracelet, which is in very good condition. Mechanically serviced and checked, this timepiece keeps accurate time with a healthy power reserve and shows no noticeable timing deviations. This Omega Genève offers a tasteful blend of vintage charm, robust build quality, and dependable daily wearability.
The Omega Genève line was introduced in the 1950s and gained prominence through the 1960s and 1970s as Omega’s range of elegant, reliable, and accessible dress watches. Named after the Swiss watchmaking city of Geneva, the Genève collection combined refined design with dependable movements, appealing to customers seeking everyday sophistication without the formality of Omega’s flagship lines. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, Omega offered a variety of movements and case sizes within the Genève umbrella, including automatic calibers such as the 1481. The Genève models from this era are valued today for their clean, timeless aesthetics, solid construction, and represent an approachable entry point for collectors of vintage Omega watches.
