I've got a 78 steel Geneve automatic on my wrist as we speak. Very good condition it is too - was my grandads.

Believe it or not...to my horror, last year on a visit home, I caught my parents about to throw out a battered old geneve from the 1960s....I rescued it and had it nicely cleaned and serviced. Wear it Monday to Friday to work. Its 54 years old and keeps accurate time...and it has a full 2 day power reserve....for a 54 year old watch I find that remarkable....very well made...

My OMEGA GENEVE has everything I want in a watch - me and my workmate Stuart talk about watches and once I got my OMEGA I stopped talking about other watches and Stuart is jealous

I have a 1971 Omega Genevé. Belonged to my great-grandfather and has been passed down to me. It’s a custom for the Yugoslav railways that was given to workers who were also decorated war heroes. Thinking of having it restored as it is a family heirloom.

just curious jeff, why a plexiglass crystal rather than sapphire? Is that an economic or availability issue?

@watchyouknow

Catawiki sums it up real nice: "When acrylic crystal breaks, it does not shatter which is why most of Rolex sports line used acrylic crystal. Omega even chose this material for their Speedmaster watch that went to the moon, in order to prevent crystal splinters from floating around in space should the watch break". Acrylic and plexiglass synonymous. Omega historically calls it plexiglass. Like it or not it is part of their past. Mass usage of sapphire was not common until the 1980's.
