The history of this Omega Genève Dynamic
With this Omega Genève Dynamic (ST 166.039), Omega delivers one of its most emblematic watches from the late 1960s. Designed for everyday wear, this Omega timepiece with its elliptical design breaks away from the traditional round case and asserts a highly dynamic silhouette on the wrist. Born within the Genève line, the Omega Genève Dynamic stands out for its urban, sporty and accessible spirit, while remaining firmly rooted in the world of luxury. Dating to circa 1970, this model perfectly reflects the brand’s creativity during that period and today belongs to the highly sought-after family of vintage Omega Dynamic watches. For enthusiasts who follow listings and compare prices on the pre-owned market, this pre-owned Omega Dynamic represents a coherent opportunity to enter the brand’s historic universe, alongside icons such as the Speedmaster.
Case, calibre and bracelet
The stainless steel case adopts the characteristic oval shape of the first-generation Dynamic, with an approximate width of 41 mm that offers strong presence while remaining comfortable on the wrist. This original steel case features a radial brushed finish that plays with the light and enhances the watch’s character. The silver dial displays elongated black indexes and a highly graphic peripheral minute track, while the orange seconds hand adds an instantly recognizable touch of color. A plexiglass crystal protects the dial and highlights the Omega logo. Inside beats the calibre 565, a true Omega automatic movement, offering approximately 50 hours of power reserve, with a date at 3 o’clock and a quickset date function via the crown. This automatic movement is appreciated by watchmakers for its robustness and reliable performance. The watch is fitted here with an Omega stainless steel bracelet, a solid-link steel bracelet finished with a signed Omega stainless steel folding clasp, perfectly in line with the model’s aesthetic and ready for daily wear.
