Omega Geneve 1975 — First impression - 166.0191

This Omega Geneve Ref. 166.0191 embodies the clean, geometric style of the mid-1970s. Its TV-shaped stainless-steel case is horizontally brushed, paired with a thin polished bezel that frames the silver sunburst dial. Applied baton markers with tritium dots, pencil hands with black inlays, and a framed date window at 3 o’clock combine to deliver a balanced, minimalist aesthetic. The watch retains its original signed Omega crown, crystal with logo, and factory bracelet (ref. 1233/215), ensuring authenticity and collectible appeal.

Omega Geneve – Sunburst Silver Dial

The dial exhibits a radial sunburst finish that catches light beautifully, providing depth and sophistication. Baton hour markers are precisely applied and complemented by a clear minute track, while the date aperture adds daily practicality. Tritium lume dots remain intact, enhancing its vintage character.

Geneve 166.0191 – Hands

Polished pencil-style hands with black inserts and tritium accents ensure excellent legibility. The central seconds hand sweeps smoothly, characteristic of the 4 Hz Caliber 1012 movement, giving the watch a refined, high-beat presence.

Omega Geneve 166.0191 – TV-Shape Stainless Steel Case

The stainless-steel case measures 35 mm and features a distinct TV-shape design emblematic of the 1970s. The brushed upper surface contrasts with the polished bezel, giving the watch a crisp and modernist look. The acrylic crystal bears the Omega logo, confirming originality.

Geneve 166.0191 – Crown

The watch is fitted with its original Omega signed crown, operating smoothly for manual winding, time-setting, and quick date adjustment.

Omega Geneve Stainless Steel Bracelet

This example comes with the original Omega stainless-steel bracelet, reference 1233/215, with signed clasp. Its brushed links match the case finish perfectly and ensure a comfortable, secure fit on the wrist.
