Here we have an absolutely gorgeous 1970s Omega Genève, elevated by the highly sought-after double-signed Meister dial. Meister, the prestigious Zurich retailer, was known for supplying some of Switzerland’s finest watches, and examples bearing both the Omega and Meister signatures have become increasingly desirable amongst collectors.

 

What immediately catches the eye is the stunning deep sunburst blue dial, a colour that shifts beautifully in different lighting conditions. The warm tritium lume plots provide the perfect contrast against the rich blue backdrop, giving the watch a distinctly vintage character while remaining remarkably clean and balanced.

 

Powering the watch is Omega’s dependable manual-wind calibre 601, one of the brand’s most respected workhorse movements, renowned for its reliability and ease of servicing. Housed within a well-proportioned 35mm stainless steel case, the watch wears larger than its dimensions suggest and remains in excellent overall condition.

 

The movement has been tested and is running accurately, making this not only a highly attractive collector’s piece but also an ideal everyday vintage watch.

 

For those looking to enter the world of vintage Omega, this Genève offers something a little more special than the standard examples. The rare retailer signature, striking blue dial, and classic manual-wind movement combine to create an entry-level watch with a generous helping of extra character and charm.
