Youare a genius and correct. I remember now. I just looked in his old box and found it the other watch and it works. That means no paperwork for the Geneve sadly so 1972 it is.

Thats awesome! That chronostop is lovely, I hope you get it serviced and wear it!

Here is a page from a 1967 UK Omega catalog:



On the left, it references that Omega AD’s had the ability to convert watches for these types of bracelets. So it is possible that the bracelet was added after purchase. We likely will never know the whole story.
