Hey all, I'm looking to purchase a vintage Omega Geneve 166.0173 from 1973. It doesn't have the T symbol next to SWISS MADE at the bottom of the dial, so I was assuming that it doesn't have tritium lume. However, I read online that some vintage Omega watches have tritium lume even if it doesn't have the T symbol. Does someone know? Thanks!

That one will have tritium. There’s a period in the early 70’s where the dashes replaced T’s on some modes such as this.
