    Morning all

    This is a very rare as NOS Omega Geneve cal 1481 ‘TV’, it is running Omegas in-house cal 1481, a remarkable and enormously underrated movement developed by the company in 1970.

    The watch is NOS, there is virtually no wear to the watch at all with the exception of a few light storage marks, it is showing only the lightest of storage marks.

    Everything about the watch is original and complete, it is in exemplary condition and I genuinely do not think you will ever find another one like this, it genuinely is that good. I have complimented it with period NOS rally band but it is also supplied with the original NOS Omega band and Omega buckle.

    As previously mentioned it is running Caliber 1481, serial number dates this to 1971/2. It is keeping good time and as previously mentioned the watch is NOS as is the movement.

    The watch is extremely wearable and has a real wrist presence, probably un be known to most forum members is that this was a production version of a prototype Beta 21 made in 1969 which was entered in to numerous design competitions. Ultimately the production version for the B21 went down a different route but this awesome case design was adopted the following year for the Geneve range.

    Condition:

    Case: New old stock, few light storage marks

    Dial and hands: New old stock, a gorgeous honey patina to the tritium and the silver sunburst dial looks simply amazing

    Strap: New old stock peccary rally and NOS original Omega band and buckle.

    Caseback: New old stock with purple gel coat

    Movement: Matching the watch and in brand new condition, working perfectly, including in innovative push in quick date setting. The movement has been checked over and timed and regulated in my ownership.

    I am looking for £775 for the watch shipped RMSD or international signed for.

    Payment via BT or PP gift (or you cover fees).

    Chaps, forgot got mention I am happy to consider trades on this one, my preference is a directly sale though

    These really are rare watches, they do come up from time to time but not in this sort of condition, the 1481 movement is genuinely a beauty and whilst original intended as an entry level automatic movement IMHO the winding system and things like the push quick date really do make it a gem of an engine
