Omega Geneve, Ref. 166.0190, Cal. 1012, Men’s Automatic Vintage Watch, 1975

Dark onyx-inlaid markers and original black-inlaid baton hands give the silver sunburst dial of this Omega Genève watch from 1975, reference 166.0190, strong contrast. Its TV-shaped steel head measures 36.5 mm across and 44 mm from lug to lug, with a linearly brushed top and polished sides. Automatic caliber 1012, a push-pull signed crown and an original domed acrylic crystal accompany black leather.

Silver sunburst and dark onyx details

The silver dial has a sunburst finish and applied baton hour markers with dark onyx inlays. Discreet tritium dots retain the period luminous details, while the date window at 3 has a clear frame. The darker furniture remains prominent against the reflective surface.

The original baton hour and minute hands have black inlays, continuing the lines of the indices. A central sweeping seconds hand completes the display. Its high-beat movement supplies the mechanical character behind that smooth seconds indication.

Geometric steel case and original back

The stainless-steel head has a TV-shaped outline, a linearly brushed upper surface and polished sides. Its 36.5 mm diameter and 44 mm overall span give it a broader geometric presence. A slightly domed original acrylic crystal carries the Omega signature.

The original Omega-signed crown sits at 3 and has a push-pull construction. It allows manual winding and quick-set date adjustment while maintaining a clean case profile. The original caseback is retained. A quality black leather strap has contrast stitching and fits the 18 mm lugs.

Automatic caliber 1012 with hacking seconds

This automatic watch uses Swiss Omega caliber 1012, with 23 jewels and a nominal frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. It has a quick-set date and hacking seconds for accurate synchronisation during setting. The watch has been fully serviced and is fully operational.

Genève watches from the 1970s used bolder case shapes while retaining restrained mechanical dress design. Reference 166.0190 expresses that balance through its TV-shaped head, silver sunburst surface and dark marker inlays. The original hands, crown and domed acrylic remain part of the watch's individual assembly.

The watch is used and in excellent vintage condition, with its original watch head components, signed crystal, crown and caseback preserved. A black leather strap accompanies the head. It comes with a 12-month warranty, and worldwide shipping is available.
