Omega
1972 Omega Geneve (Ref. 162.0042) Cal. 1481
The world of vintage Omega is vast. It's filled with interesting and unique references, to a degree unlike almost any other manufacturer. This is true whether one wishes to get weird with a racing, dress, diving, or any other category of watch. Omega has them all. The 1970s especially were a time when the watch world as a whole actively tested the limits of design, of what a watch could be and how it could look, not just what it could do.
