A rather popular and sought-after vintage Omega model with a beautiful original two tone dial along with very prominent, facet, applied arrow markers . A highly attractive dial with an unusually simple and understated cross-hair subsidiary seconds. Also note a quite unusual 'Geneve' in script. The dial has a soft even patina there which gives no doubt on originality. Three piece solid 9ct yellow gold, fully signed Omega case, fully hallmarked and correctly signed, 'Omega.' This is the more compact 33mm version and others were produced in 36mm
