1960 Omega Genève Automatic Ref. 14702

An "Honest Vintage" Classic

An authentic, mid-century time capsule that captures the golden era of Omega’s in-house manufacturing. This Reference 14702-1 is a perfect example of why vintage Omega remains the most respected entry point for serious collectors.

The Design & Dial

This Omega is defined by its "Honest" vintage character. The two-tone silver dial has developed a soft, warm patina that tells the story of its 60+ year history. Rather than being repainted, the dial remains in its 100% original state, offering a look that simply cannot be replicated by modern restoration. It features hand-applied baton markers and sharp "Dauphine" pointers that catch the light beautifully against the aging silver surface.

Movement

Inside, this watch is powered by the Omega Calibre 562. This 24-jewel automatic movement is a "workhorse" of the highest order, known for its longevity and smooth winding. With its date complication and robust construction, it remains as reliable today as it was in the early 1960s. The watch is in fine running condition, ready to be worn and enjoyed immediately.

The Presence

At 33mm (excluding the signed Omega crown), this watch offers a slim, sophisticated profile that epitomizes the "gentleman’s dress watch" of the 1960s. It is a discreet but confident piece of Swiss engineering that looks exceptional on the wrist, especially when paired with its new, premium caramel-colored leather strap.

Note - The picture shows the watch with two seperate straps (it's the same watch)
