Omega Genève Ref. 136.041 – Cal. 613 – Circa 1970 – Mesh Bracelet – Manual Wind
Offered here is a clean and honest example of the Omega Genève Ref. 136.041, serial 28365569, dating to approximately 1970. Powered by the reliable, in-house Caliber 613 — a manual-wind movement with quickset date — this Genève delivers everything collectors seek in a vintage Omega: timeless proportions, mechanical simplicity, and enduring design.
Housed in a classic 35mm stainless steel case, the watch wears elegantly with its slim profile and straight lugs. The silver sunburst dial shows attractive, even patina, complemented by applied indices, minimalist dial text, and original stick hands — all untouched and correct for the reference.
What sets this example apart is the addition of a vintage stainless steel mesh bracelet, period-correct and perfectly matched to the case. It completes the watch both aesthetically and functionally, enhancing wearability without distracting from the vintage charm. The bracelet wears comfortably, shows minimal stretch, and elevates the piece above the usual strap-bound examples commonly seen on the market.
Movement is running strong, with smooth winding and crisp date change. The crown is signed, crystal clean, and case lines remain sharp with only minor signs of wear consistent with age.
An underrated Omega reference that has remained under the radar — ideal for those who appreciate well-executed simplicity and the quiet confidence of a manual-wind vintage piece. The Genève line may have started as an entry-level offering, but watches like this prove that restraint and design integrity stand the test of time.
