Omega Geneva Automatic Watch, All Brushed Steel, Vintage "television" Case From The 1970s

Omega Genève stainless steel wristwatch, equipped with the Omega 1012 self-winding mechanical movement, dating from the 1970s.

Emblematic of the watch design of that decade, this watch features a so-called “television”-shaped case, characterized by its softened geometric lines, rounded corners, and wide brushed-steel case. This highly recognizable silhouette reflects the aesthetic renewal of Swiss watchmaking during the 1970s, a period marked by the emergence of bolder, more contemporary designs.

Its dark anthracite-gray dial offers a subtle contrast to the steel of the case. It is punctuated by applied metallic baton hour markers, paired with hands of the same design, whose slenderness and geometry extend the watch’s overall minimalist aesthetic. A discreet peripheral minute track completes the design, while a date window, framed by a metal border, is positioned at the 3 o’clock mark.

The dial features the famous Omega emblem, accompanied by the inscriptions “Omega Automatic” and “Genève,” hallmarks of this historic line from the Swiss manufacturer.

The slightly domed Plexiglas crystal harmoniously follows the contours of the case and contributes to this watch’s authentically vintage character. It has been replaced with a brand-new one, allowing for perfectly clear readability of the dial while preserving the original aesthetic.

The watch retains its original Omega bracelet in brushed steel, composed of wide articulated links. Integrated directly into the case middle, with no visible lugs, it extends the lines of the case with remarkable visual continuity. This design, characteristic of many watch creations from the 1970s, creates a particularly cohesive whole, in which the proportions and finishes complement each other naturally.

The bracelet is fitted with an Omega-branded folding clasp, featuring several adjustment notches that allow for precise length adjustment. The watch’s current total length, including the bracelet, is approximately 20 cm at the maximum setting.

With a width of 35.9 mm excluding the crown and a length of 42.8 mm, the case makes a bold statement on the wrist, while the absence of protruding lugs and the seamless integration of the bracelet contribute to the balance of its proportions.

This Omega Genève is powered by the Omega Caliber 1012, a self-winding mechanical movement developed in the early 1970s. Beating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, it features a date display and showcases the Swiss manufacturer’s technical expertise at that time.

A vintage watch with character, particularly representative of Omega’s 1970s designs, whose “television” case, anthracite dial, and original steel bracelet come together to form a look that is at once graphic, understated, and timeless.
