Vintage Omega Genève Ladies Oval Dress Watch, Circa 1970s

Delicate Elegance from Omega's Feminine Classic Era

A charming and petite vintage ladies Omega Genève, showcasing the brand's signature 1970s oval design tailored for slender wrists. The Genève collection offered sophisticated yet accessible luxury, and this manual-wind example embodies understated glamour with its elongated oval case, warm champagne dial, and gold-plated finish – an ideal piece for collectors or those seeking a graceful vintage accessory.

Dial & Hands The beautifully aged champagne dial features a subtle matte finish with applied baton indices and slim dauphine hands for excellent readability. Centrally signed "Ω OMEGA" with "Genève" scripted below, it exudes quiet sophistication. The dial remains in very good vintage condition, with light even patina that enhances its authentic character and no major imperfections visible.

Case & Crystal The distinctive oval case measures approximately 23-25mm wide by 30mm lug-to-lug (typical for ladies models of this era), making it exceptionally comfortable and discreet on the wrist. Constructed from stainless steel with gold plating , it features smooth curved lugs and a polished bezel that retains strong gold tone with only minor honest wear. The signed Omega crown operates smoothly for winding and time-setting. The domed acrylic crystal shows light surface scratches consistent with age but remains clear and intact.

Movement Powered by a reliable Omega manual-wind calibre from the 620/625 series – compact, high-quality movements with 17 jewels designed specifically for ladies watches in the 1970s. Known for their precision and slim profile, these calibers offer a power reserve of around 40-42 hours when fully wound. The ritual of daily hand-winding adds a personal touch to owning this vintage gem. The watch is fully functional: it winds smoothly, sets accurately, and is currently keeping decent time for its vintage status. As with all vintage watches, periodic servicing is recommended for optimal long-term performance.
