Omega Geneve Ref.166.070 Cal.565 35.0mm 1969

Up for grabs would be a timepiece with extreme value proposition, the Omega Geneve 166.070. Much beloved by collectors as it’s equipped with Omega's full in house automatic winding Cal.565 movement, much regarded as the best series of movements Omega ever made in their vintage era. Making the perfect entry level timepiece that every collector has no reason not to have in their collection.

In addition, this timepiece comes freshly serviced with all parts laid out by our professional watchmaker for all to see in the images above. Little to no other dealers do this and it’s a testament to full transparency here at Montre D’or. With the Cal. 565 inside running excellently as shown in the timegrapher reading above, just like it was when it left the factory nearly half a century ago.
