Omega Geneve ref # 2754

The watches from Omega Geneve line of the 1950’s are true beauties. The clean designs coupled with the high quality movements made this line an enduring classic. Beginning in the 60’s, Omega switched the “Geneve” name to a line of watches which were supposed to be “entry level” watches. Thus, the Geneve name lost some of its cachet.

This specific example (Right) is a ref 2754, produced from 1954-58 and harbors a cal 266 movement. The quality of the dial really stands out on this example and its is getting exceedingly difficult to find watches with an original dial in such condition.

The example on the left is also a ref 2754, purchased from a fellow collector. The original black dial is extremely rare and I have only seen a couple of others since I started collecting.
