Help Identifying This Vintage Omega Genève

Hello, watch fans!

I’m hoping to get your expertise in identifying this watch, which I’m currently having serviced.
The closest reference I’ve been able to find is the Omega Genève 14724, but I haven’t been able to find another example with the 6, 9, and 12 Arabic numerals like this one. I also haven’t found any examples with a red-tipped seconds hand, which makes me wonder whether the hand is original or may have been replaced at some point.

I’d really appreciate your thoughts on:

- The correct reference/model identification

- Whether this particular dial configuration is known for the 14724

- Whether you’ve ever seen an Omega with this red-tipped seconds hand, and whether it could be original

The watch has a lot of sentimental value to me, so I’d like to restore it as close to its original configuration as possible rather than replacing parts based on assumptions.

Any information, period catalogs, photographs, or examples you can share would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello and welcome!

It seems like this could very well be a 14724 but, to determine the correct reference number for certain, have your watch maker send you a photo of the inside of the case-back.

Here's a link to a 14724 that was sold a few years ago here:


While several models had an entirely red seconds hand, this looks red-tip-only hand looks to be a replacement.

Do you happen to have any other photos of the watch?
