Unisex, it can be worn equally well by a man or a woman. Its steel \u003cstrong\u003ecushion case\u003c\/strong\u003e, with rounded flanks and, above all, \u003cstrong\u003ebroad, faceted, and notched lugs\u003c\/strong\u003e, is the piece's true design gesture: these sculpted lugs immediately distinguish it from an ordinary round case. The whole measures 34mm (37mm with the crown) for a Lug-to-lug of 40.5mm and a thickness of 10mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003esunburst silvered dial\u003c\/strong\u003e radiates from its center, changing in density according to the angle. Twelve applied baton indexes, each hollowed out with a \u003cstrong\u003eblack insert\u003c\/strong\u003e, rhythm the perimeter, framed by a peripheral railroad track. The Omega symbol and the OMEGA signature occupy the top of the dial, the mention Genève the bottom, with SWISS MADE at the base. The hands echo this black insert treatment on the steel, while a slender central seconds hand sweeps across the whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInside beats the \u003cstrong\u003eOmega 601 caliber\u003c\/strong\u003e, a mechanical \u003cstrong\u003ehand-wound movement\u003c\/strong\u003e with 17 jewels. It is one of the maison's most widespread and reliable manual calibers from the 1960s, prized for its robustness and the availability of its parts: having it serviced today poses no difficulty. No battery here: the watch is wound by hand every morning, in a gesture that has become rare. The movement of this example has been serviced by our watchmaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the wrist, the piece behaves more like a \u003cstrong\u003edaily watch\u003c\/strong\u003e than a jewel. The brushed steel, the silvered dial and the Lug-to-lug of 40.5mm give it a distinct presence, halfway between dress and everyday wear. It is fitted on a black \u003cstrong\u003egrained leather\u003c\/strong\u003e strap, with a Buckle pin buckle, which is not original but respects the sobriety of the whole. The 18mm Lug width leaves complete freedom to change it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree points to note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe watch is mechanical with a hand-wound movement: it must be wound daily in order to run.

The positioning was more affordable, but the movements remained in-house, with the same manufacturing seriousness. This is what today makes it one of the most appealing entry points into vintage Omega.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom what year does this Omega date?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFrom 1968. Unlike many vintage watches, this dating is not an estimate: the serial number engraved on the movement falls within the 27-million range, which Omega reference tables attribute to that year. This is verifiable information, not a mere approximation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Omega 601 caliber reliable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, it is even one of its great strengths. The 601 is a hand-wound mechanical movement with 17 jewels, one of the most widespread at Omega during the 1960s. Its wide distribution has a fortunate consequence: spare parts remain available and any watchmaker knows how to service it. The movement in this example has been serviced by our watchmaker and comes with a 1-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do you wind a hand-wound watch?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nGently turn the crown clockwise, about twenty turns, until you feel resistance. Never force it beyond that point. Daily winding, at the same time each day, is enough to keep the watch running and ensures the best consistency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a 34mm case suitable for which wrist?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWith a 34mm diameter but a Lug-to-lug of 40.5mm, this Omega wears larger than its dimensions suggest: its wide, faceted lugs elongate the silhouette. It is suitable for wrists from 15 to 19cm in circumference. This is the classic masculine size of the 1960s, and one that is very sought after today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"Qu'est-ce que la ligne Omega Genève ?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"La Genève est la ligne que Omega réservait à ses montres de ville les plus accessibles, aux côtés de la Seamaster et de la Constellation.
