This timepiece is a gorgeous example of Omega's commitment to quality in its classic Genève line. The simple, clean silver sunburst dial is timeless, but the true value lies in the movement- the Omega Caliber 613. This 17-Jewel movement is one of the final and most refined manual-wind calibers produced by Omega, featuring the highly sought-after Quick-Set Date function! Your customer needs to know this- the date is advanced by repeatedly pulling the crown out and pushing it back in- a unique and efficient mechanism that makes this vintage watch incredibly practical for daily wear.
The case back proudly features the stamp "WATERPROOF" (visible in similar case styles)- a term Omega used on its more durable cases prior to 1970, indicating a robust construction designed for superior moisture protection- a testament to its original utility. The case itself has a pleasing- substantial profile with refined finishing, and the overall aesthetic speaks to the mid-century trend of elegant- understated watches.
This watch is a perfect example of how Omega delivered precision and quality throughout its entire lineup, offering features like the quick-set date and a reliable in-house caliber in a watch that remains highly wearable and desirable today. It's a prime target for the collector who values refined mechanical purity and a distinctive quick-set function.
