Pre‑Owned Omega Genève 36mm Ref. 166.0166 (1978)
The Omega Genève Ref. 166.0166 is a classic late‑1970s timepiece that reflects Omega’s focus on clean design, everyday reliability, and accessible Swiss watchmaking. The Genève collection was renowned for offering well‑engineered watches with timeless styling, and today these models are increasingly appreciated for their honest vintage character.
This 1978 example is presented in good condition and is offered as watch only. The watch features a warm gold brushed dial, paired with applied gold baton hour markers, delivering a cohesive and distinctly period‑correct aesthetic. The 36mm gold‑plated case over steel offers strong wrist presence while remaining comfortably wearable, making it a versatile choice for daily wear.
Powering the watch is the Omega Calibre 1030 manual‑wind movement, a slim and reliable calibre known for its simplicity, durability, and ease of servicing. Protected by a plexiglass crystal, the watch is fitted to a leather strap with pin buckle, maintaining its classic and understated presentation.
