Omega Geneve automatic

iChristos · Mar 14, 2021

Hi guy's,
I am a watch collector and recently I begin on Instagram so I had to improve my photo's.
So here are the first shots of my Omega Geneve Automatic, somebody tell me that it's calling also as a omega seamaster geneve but I am not sure...
If somebody can provide me more info's, don't hesitate.

I'm not sure this specific model is really a Seamaster Genève.

See this thread here showing some examples of those.

My golden coloured one says hi

Hi @LesXL,

I will go to see the topic, the best is to open it and find the ref. to be sure I think.

Yours look great also, congrats!

Have a nice day.

This is a great example, nice condition. I have / had a few, but I guess it is never called Seamaster, only Geneve.

As I understand it, Seamaster Genèves have it written on the face - like this one I found on Google

Thank you, I didn't know as I see a lot like mine called seamaster geneve on C24, the best way is to open it when I will receive my first tool so I can have the ref. & the serial number.

Well, I’m not sure what you are hoping the inside will say apart from detailing the movement, the serial number and the case number.

After your post, I went on C24 to see for myself.

Although the C24 sellers have described their watches as ‘Seamaster Geneve', all have dials just marked ‘Geneve' (and I’m not including those on which the dial states 'Seamaster Geneve') and if you scroll down to read the particulars, the 'model' stated in each and every one of those is ‘Geneve’.

So, nice yours is, it’s probably just a nice Geneve.

That is I believe a 166.070. It was only ever AFAIK marked up as a Geneve. It is a solid entry level model from circa 1970.

And nothing wrong with Genèves (I currently own 3).

Whilst the model you have is often described as ‘entry level’ it is, when all is said and done, an Omega.

Thank for all the informations !

I am also a Geneve lover, everything in this watch have a good quality.

Maybe an advice: try a bit to play with the light (and shadows). Look at the difference of the pictures that are taken straight and the ones that are slightly taken from the side. These latter turns out to be better.
