Description
1971 OMEGA GENEVE Vintage Mens Automatic Cal. 565 Dress Watch - 18K Gold Plated & Stainless Steel

Gorgeous Restored Condition -  Classic & Elegant - 1 Year Warranty

Today's offering showcases this gorgeously restored example of one of Omega's classic vintage Geneve watches.

It has an elegant dress style case, distinctive black vignette dial, and a high grade handwound Omega movement.

Its tropical style 18K gold plated case with a steel back has the look of a solid gold Omega for a fraction of the cost.

Powering the watch is Omega's top-tier caliber 565 movement used in Seamasters from the era, and one of the last superior 500's series movements used before Omega began trying to reduce their costs, and the top tier offering of the 500 series. It has 24 jewels and a quick-setting date and is one of the finest mass-produced automatic movements from era.

It has all of its original parts even down to its original signed crystal! It has just finished a true expertly done restoration and presents in gorgeous condition.

Its case presents as mint. Its dial has been expertly restored and presents as mint.

As part of the restoration it has just been overhauled by a Master Watchmaker (a $495 value.) It is running very strong and true, keeping time essentially on par with a new Omega in our testing recording position.

For the finishing touch it has been equipped with a brand new leather strap and aftermarket Omega style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
