Omega Ref.131019

The glimmer of Geneva: Omega Ref. 131.019.

What a delightful story about this Omega Genève Ref. 131.019 from 1964! This watch is indeed a beautiful example of the charm and quality that Omega offered at the time.

This is the Omega Genève Ref. 131.019, a tangible reminder of the elegant watchmaking of 1964.

The Genève collection, launched in 1953, was Omega’s smart move to make luxurious finishing accessible. The goal was to offer the sophistication of the more expensive Constellation line, but at a more competitive price point to appeal to a younger audience. This watch perfectly embodies that goal with its understated, yet extraordinarily charming design.

The robust steel case measuring 34 mm is the ideal size, a classic fit that is both timeless and versatile. The case is in perfect condition, radiating an unmistakable authenticity. Above the dial lies the domed plexiglass, which beautifully accentuates the vintage aesthetic. This crystal protects the breathtaking silver dial with a sunburst decoration. The texture of the dial captures the light in a unique way, giving it an incredible charm.

Time is indicated by stunning Arabic numerals and hands, coated with a warm layer of rose gold. This contrast between the cool steel and the warm rose gold accents ensures an extremely luxurious presentation. Inside beats the heart of watchmaking tradition: the mechanical hand-wound Calibre 601. This movement is recognized by enthusiasts as one of Omega’s best 3-hand movements from that period. The fact that this calibre was produced from 1962 to 1970 proves its reliability and robustness.

The daily ritual of manual winding connects the wearer with the craftsmanship of a bygone era. This model is equally suitable for both a male and a female wrist, underscoring its universal appeal. Today, the Genève line offers collectors the opportunity to acquire such a timeless vintage model featuring high-quality movements.

Wearing this watch means carrying a piece of Swiss history that will stand the test of time for many more decades. The Omega Genève 131.019 is a masterpiece of subtle luxury and classic design, ready for its next chapter.

Omega was founded in La chaux-de-fonds by Louis Brandt in 1848, although the company would not be named Omega until 1903. It is one of the most successful Swiss watch houses, both in terms of sales and historical significance.

Louis Brandt was already rather innovative before his Omega days. He developed the very first minute-repeater wristwatch with Audemars Piguet in 1892. Although Brandt died in 1903, Omega would not lose its innovative nature. Among its biggest accomplishments are the manufacture of the first tourbillon wristwatch movement in 1947 and the first large-scale commercial implementation of George Daniels’ co-axial escapement in 1999.

The biggest highlight in Omega’s history is undoubtedly the moon landing in 1969. Both Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin wore Omega Speedmasters on the lunar surface. But there is so much more to this Swiss powerhouse. They launched the very first dive watch with the Omega Marine, all the way back in 1932. That is some twenty years before the Blancpain Fifty-Fathoms and Rolex Submariner would redefine the category.

Omega has no shortage of hit collections. From the Speedmaster to the Seamaster and from the Constellation to the De Ville, with tons and tons of variations within all of those lines. You may opt for a yellow gold pie-pan Constellation or for a chunky Ploprof. There is something for everyone.

And that is before we go into Omega’s military history, including the Dirty dozen MOD-issued field watch. And we cannot forget James Bond, with his tricked out Seamasters since 1995’s Goldeneye.

No wonder then, that we love Omega so much!
