Hello everyone,

Presenting a bold and increasingly collectible late-1960s piece, this 1969 Omega Genève Ref. 135.041 captures the transition into the vibrant design language of the 1970s. The striking sunburst blue dial is elevated by vivid orange hands, delivering a sporty, almost racing-inspired aesthetic that stands out from more traditional Genève models. The minimalist layout keeps the dial clean and highly legible while allowing the colour contrast to take centre stage.

The classic stainless-steel case features sharp lines and slim proportions typical of the era, making it extremely wearable by modern standards. Inside beats a reliable Omega automatic calibre, known for its durability and smooth operation — a workhorse movement that helped establish Omega’s reputation for robust everyday timepieces during this period.

Presented on a leather strap and offered watch only, this example is a fantastic entry point into vintage Omega collecting. Its distinctive colour combination, honest vintage character, and strong late-60s design cues make it especially appealing for enthusiasts seeking something beyond the usual silver-dial dress watch.

Based in Melbourne, VIC.

Thanks again everyone! 😁
