Omega Genève Ref. 135.070 1971 - Blue Sunburst Dial
This elegant Omega Genève from 1971 is a wonderful example of understated Swiss watchmaking, elevated by rarity, originality, and a story that gives it genuine character.
The watch features the rarer sunburst blue dial, which comes alive in changing light, shifting subtly from deep navy to rich cobalt tones. This dial alone sets the piece apart, offering a level of presence and sophistication that is increasingly difficult to find in original condition.
Housed in a clean stainless-steel case, the watch remains in good overall condition and retains its original Omega-signed crown, an important detail for collectors. The original plexiglass crystal is still fitted, showing only light age-related marks that can be polished out if desired, preserving authenticity while allowing for future refinement.
What truly makes this example unique is the engraved case back, linking the watch directly to Hull. For us, this local provenance adds a layer of charm and historical interest — a tangible connection between a classic Swiss timepiece and our own part of the world. It’s a reminder that great watches are not just objects, but companions that travel through lives and places, collecting stories along the way.
The watch is fitted with a new third-party leather strap, chosen to complement the dial while keeping the overall look faithful to the period. While the original box is no longer present, the watch will be supplied in a luxury pouch, ready to wear, collect, or gift.
