The Omega Genève became one of the brand's defining collections during the late 1960s and early 1970s, offering elegant styling, dependable mechanical movements and exceptional everyday wearability. This reference 136.041 is a fine example of the collection, combining clean design with the renowned Omega Calibre 613 manual wind movement.
The original silver sunburst dial remains beautifully preserved, with its finely brushed finish reflecting the light to create subtle depth and texture. Applied baton hour markers, slim hands and a neatly framed date aperture at 3 o'clock give the watch the balanced, understated aesthetic that has made the Genève collection so enduringly popular. Every visible component, including the dial, hands, case, crown, crystal and movement, is correct for the reference, making this an especially honest example.
Powering the watch is the Omega Calibre 613, a 17-jewel manually wound movement respected for its reliability, smooth operation and desirable quick-set date mechanism. Movement serial 28,387,121 dates the watch to 1970. It winds smoothly, sets precisely and is running well at the point of inspection.
The 34mm stainless steel case retains its elegant proportions with light, honest signs of age consistent with careful ownership. Fitted with a new premium black leather strap, the watch offers a refined vintage presence while remaining versatile enough for everyday wear.
At Vintage Watch HQ, we selected this example for its original sunburst dial, correct specification throughout and well-preserved overall condition. It is a wonderfully honest Omega Genève that perfectly captures the understated elegance of the early 1970s.
