1973 Omega Geneve (Ref. 166.099) "Cal. 1481"
While Omega is best known for its Speedmaster and Seamaster lines, its back catalog goes much deeper than those icons and is filled with interesting and unique references. This stainless steel Geneve is one shining example of that, with its unique integrated bracelet design. It's also powered by the great in-house Omega cal. 1481 automatic movement. This would be a perfect pickup for any Omega collector or anyone who appreciates the funky style of this quintessentially 1970s gem.
