A Beautiful Omega Genève with a Charming Silver Sunburst Dial Featuring Applied Furniture and Original Lume, c.1970 

Introduced in the mid-1950s, the Omega Genève line was originally named after the city of Geneva to highlight the brand’s Swiss heritage and precision. By the late 1960s, it evolved into a broader collection offering stylish yet affordable mechanical watches. Popular throughout the 1970s, Genève models featured both manual and automatic movements in a variety of case shapes. Though discontinued in the early 1980s, the Genève line remains a popular entry point for vintage Omega collectors today.

What's on Offer

This Omega Genève Ref. 135.070 from 1970 is a beautifully preserved mid-size vintage timepiece, offering understated elegance and reliable mechanical performance in equal measure. The 35mm stainless steel case provides a comfortable and versatile fit, perfect for daily wear or special occasions.

Its silver sunburst dial is clean and striking, featuring an applied Omega logo, slim baton indices with original luminous pips, and slim pencil hands that retain their warm, aged lume. The dial is encapsulated beneath an original Omega-signed plexiglass crystal that subtly domes over the dial and adds a soft vintage glow.

Inside beats the hand-wound Omega Calibre 601, an in-house mechanical movement with 17 jewels, renowned for its durability and smooth operation. This calibre is known for its robust and reliable nature. The watch is paired with a classic leather strap, rounding out its timeless design. A great buy.
