Vintage Omega Genève Megaquartz 32KHz 196.0033 - 39mm - 1973

This 1973 Omega Megaquartz Genève features a striking gold-colored dial, complemented by a gold-plated case and bracelet. While the case shows signs of wear—including a noticeable mark on the right edge, some fading on the bracelet—the plating remains largely intact. The dial, however, is in great condition. On the picture it shows a lot of dust particles, these are almost invisible to the naked eye without using a high-contrast lens like we do.

Powered by the Omega Caliber 1310 Megaquartz movement, it features a Day-Date function with weekdays displayed exclusively in German. The date has a quick-set function, but the weekdays must be adjusted by advancing the time 24 hours, as the quick-set for weekdays is non-functional. This was not fixable with the service except for replacing the complete movement which we decided not to do. Retaining its original bracelet, this watch is completely original—a great choice for both daily wear and special occasions.
