OMEGA 61's Geneive / Cal.562

Introducing the Omega "Geneva" made in 1961 .

In 1894 , the Louis Brandt brothers company, the predecessor of Omega, succeeded in developing a revolutionary movement.

Until then, watchmaking was limited to parts of different specifications, which meant that each part had to be adjusted individually, and adjusting the time accuracy required considerable skill and time.
This made highly accurate watches very expensive.

The Brand brothers then developed a movement that would allow for streamlined production by standardizing parts to make them interchangeable. This shortened development time and kept prices low, while still achieving incredible accuracy for the time.

The Brand brothers named this movement "Ω," the last letter of the Greek alphabet, to convey the meaning of "ultimate," and also changed the name of their company to the current "Omega Watch Company."

"Geneva" is the name of the Swiss city.
This model was sold as an entry-level model at the time, and became popular due to its simple and beautiful design and performance that was beyond what you would expect from an entry-level model.

The dial is a bombe dial with a dome-shaped bulge, and is a two-tone white and beige dial.
In addition, a center cross line is placed in the center of the dial, making the entire dial look sharp and improving visibility.

The hands are powerful dolphin hands, and the indexes are wedge-shaped, giving them a classic look.

The case uses the same design as the Seamaster of the same era, and its thin, sharp shape makes it comfortable to wear and creates a classic atmosphere.

At first glance, the Geneva is so decorated that it could be mistaken for a Seamaster from the late 1950s .
Since most models have simple designs, a Geneva with such a classic look is extremely rare .

The movement is a 24 jewel automatic, Cal. 562 .

Omega's 500 series automatic movement is not only highly accurate, but also boasts stable operation, durable construction, and ease of maintenance, making it a highly practical choice.

In addition, to make it look beautiful, it is red gold plated and each and every part is chamfered, allowing you to feel the attention to detail of the craftsmen at the time.

In terms of condition, the dial has aged, but there are no problems with visibility.

The case is in good condition with no noticeable scratches.
The movement is running smoothly and the calendar function works without any issues.

All watches sold in our store are internally inspected by a professional watch mechanic upon arrival and are only sold after being determined to be genuine, so you can use them with confidence.

When you purchase a watch, we will attach a new leather strap to it when you deliver it to you.
Please select the color you want from the order selection tab and place your order.
*For products that come with original watch straps or metal bands, the leather strap will not be attached and will be sent separately as a spare.
A special case for the watch will also be included with the shipment.

Please be sure to read the following information after purchasing an antique watch.

When selling antique watches at RESUME, we do not immediately hand over the watch to you upon receiving your order. Instead, we ask a professional craftsman to overhaul it (hereinafter referred to as OH) and deliver it to you after the OH is completed. (This takes about 1 to 2 months.)

A professional craftsman with first-class watch repair technician qualifications will completely disassemble your watch, replace worn parts such as the internal gaskets, clean it, oil it, and perform a thorough overhaul, maintaining it to a daily accuracy of about ±1 minute.
When we deliver the machine, we will also send you our own overhaul certificate, which shows what kind of overhaul was performed, as well as photos of the machine being disassembled and maintained.

Of course, due to the nature of the product itself being a second-hand item, there is no guarantee that it will never break, but we ask for your understanding that we take this approach so that you can enjoy the original performance of the watch and use it with peace of mind in the future.

When you purchase a product, we offer a one-year warranty depending on the model. Even if the warranty period has expired, we will still repair the product for a fee. If there is no repair shop near you, please feel free to contact us.
