Anything wrong with this Geneve?

watchmann44232 · Jul 19, 2025

Hi Guys, I picked up this Omega Geneve a few days a go. Did I end up with a real dog or is there maybe something authentic in it? Based on the looks of the dial I thought it might be from early 60s? Any help would be really appreciated. Unfortunately I haven't opened it up so I don't have photos of what's ticking inside.

Aha - found this post at the forums. Looks like this may be ref. 135.041 with cal 601.

Looks genuine and largely original. Dates to late 60’s.

Thank You! I guess I should've been less negative in my original post regarding originality, but not being that familiar with Omegas and the condition being maybe a bit too nice (for a 'barn' find - sort of) I think I was subconsciously preparing to be disappointed. Having said that, and being more of vintage Seiko-guy, these arabic numerals on a dial really speak to me.

A nice little puppy followed you home 😉.

The 041 case shape isn't to everyones taste but I like the rugged "one-piece" style that avoids delicate lugs.
The 601 caliber is also one of Omega's finest vintage time only movements (IMO) and will last forever if maintained correctly.
