Are those hands heat blued or are they coated? The blue hands on my Dan Henry are coated with a transparent blue glaze of some sort. They look nice but under magnification they are obviously coated.
I've been meaning to ask the Forum: What is the correct terminology describing that "checkerboard-y" looking track around the outside of of this Genève? Speedmaster Racings and some other mid-1960s Omega Seamasters can be found with it.
I like the look of dials featuring that track.
I think it falls into the “Racing” and/or often seen “exotic” categories. Have a look at this thread and you’ll see most all of the watches shared in it have the pattern you’re referring to.

@styggpyggeno1 even shared their flightmaster stating
“And "checkered" pattern on dial - I cannot see anyone mention the Flightmaster yet”
So, I think it qualifies as a “Racing” pattern.
So this is the grail you had incoming?? 🥰
