Buyer's Premium:

A vintage 1970s Omega Geneve Electronic f 300 Hz chronometer wristwatch. The timepiece features a tonneau-shaped gold-plated case with a champagne dial. The dial is configured with applied gold-toned baton hour markers with black inserts, a day-date aperture at the 3 o’clock position, and a red Omega logo at 12 o’clock. Dial inscriptions include OMEGA ELECTRONIC f 300 Hz, Geneve CHRONOMETER, and SWISS MADE. The watch is powered by an electronic tuning fork movement, likely Calibre 1260. It is presented on an aftermarket dark green leather strap with a crocodile-effect embossed pattern. No box or papers are present.

Case size: 36mm.


Condition report:

The gold-plated case shows significant wear and thinning, with the grey base metal visible on the lugs and sharp edges. There are numerous surface scratches and small nicks throughout the case. The acrylic crystal displays several surface scratches and scuffs. The dial is in good condition with minor signs of ageing, while the luminous material on the hands and indices has darkened. The strap shows signs of use and creasing. The movement is untested and the functional status is unknown; tuning fork movements require specific batteries and a professional service is recommended.
