Omega Geneve 1660173 Vertical Brush

Omega Geneve 166.0173 | Ref. SR354455XX
1973 Production. Integrated Bracelet. Vertical Brush Dial. 2-Year Warranty.

This Omega Geneve 166.0173 embodies the bold transition Omega made during the early 1970s—when design became more sculptural and case integration took center stage. Produced around 1973, based on its 35-million serial range, this piece reflects the brand's response to the changing aesthetics of the post-space-race era: industrial, confident, and distinctively modern.

Part of the Geneve line—once Omega’s testing ground for daring styles—this reference features an integrated stainless steel bracelet that melts into the tonneau-shaped case, giving it a seamless, almost architectural wrist presence. The vertical brush dial is clean and balanced, a minimalist nod to the era’s design ethos.

Mechanically, it's powered by a proven Omega automatic movement ( Cal 1012) and comes in great condition, fully serviced and backed by a 2-year warranty.
