Check before you buy

  • The reference and its letters, from inside the caseback. The letters tell you the metal.
  • The movement, with the calibre number readable. It has to match the reference; a Genève name on the dial covers 40 calibres.
  • The dial, square on and in daylight. Even print, nothing smudged or thick.

Years are the years Omega's database gives for the references; a reference listed with two calibres counts under both. Parts counts are the part numbers in each calibre's own section of Omega's GF 620 catalogues; the 1481, 552 and 613 sections print mostly the parts that differ from their base calibre.

The reference is stamped inside the caseback. Read the letters in front of it too: they tell you the metal.

The 1481 is printed as a variant. GF 620-6 gives the 1480 and 1481 the same designation, 25,60 RA SCD PC CAL CORR, with 17 jewels for the 1480 and 21 for the 1481. The 1481's section lists 5 part numbers; the 1480's lists 80. Both are 25.60 mm, not the 27.90 mm of the 552 to 1022.

Inside the 1030: a 1012 without the rotor

The 1030 is the hand-wound calibre in 7 Genève references, 1973–1981. GF 620-6 prints it as 27,90 T1 SC PC CAL CORR STS 17 pierres: the 1012's size and date, with no RA. The part numbers show how much of the 1012 it is.

6 carry a 1030 number 51 carry a 1010 number 7 carry a 1000 number 14 screws 8 jewels 1 bushing The 87 part numbers GF 620-6 lists for the 1030, one square each.

80 of the 1030's 87 part numbers are also listed for the automatic 1012. Only 6 carry a 1030 number: the substitute bridge that takes the place of the automatic device (1030.1045), the wheel train bridge that carries the movement number (1030.1003), the barrel bridge (1030.1001), the barrel with arbor (1030.1200), the mainspring (1030.1208) and the click (1030.1104). The seventh is one screw. So a 1012 donor carries most of a 1030: hunt by the part number. The parts finder lists every 1030 part.

GF 620-6 gives the 1030 28,800 beats, 17 jewels and a 27.90 × 3.65 mm movement.

The calibres, from the factory catalogue

Omega's catalogues print each calibre with a short designation. RA is automatic, SC is centre seconds, PC is shock protection, CAL is the date, CALD is day and date, CORR is the corrector, STS is the stop-second and AM is antimagnetic.

Is it gold?

21 of the 144 references are solid gold in Omega's records. The letters in front of the reference tell you which:

An 18k case is stamped 750. On a gold-capped case the metal under the gold is steel; on a plated case, base metal showing at the lug edges means the plate has worn through. Gold or plated? covers every mark, and Weigh your Omega turns a kitchen-scale weight into a gold value.

What it's worth

Three numbers matter: what the same reference with the right calibre actually sold for, what the parts would bring, and, on a solid gold case, the gold. Use the “What they sold for” links on this page rather than asking prices. Vintage Omega prices gives the bands by model, and What's my Omega worth? explains all three.

Dating one

The serial is on the movement; the serial number lookup gives the year band. It should land in or after the year the reference appears above. A 565 is no older than 1966, the date on its GF 620-3 section, and the 1010 to 1022 are dated 1973 in GF 620-6.

Before you buy one

  • The reference and its letters, from inside the caseback. The letters tell you the metal.
  • The movement, with the calibre number readable. It has to match the reference; a Genève name on the dial covers 40 calibres.
  • The dial, square on and in daylight. Even print, nothing smudged or thick.
  • The lugs from the side. No base metal showing on a plated or capped case.

Questions people ask

What movement is in my Omega Genève?

It depends on the reference. Omega's database lists 144 Genève references and 40 calibres. The most common are the automatic 1481 and the small hand-wound 485, 12 references each, then the automatic 1012 with 11 and the 565 with 10. The reference inside the caseback tells you which one should be there.

What year is my Omega Genève?

Omega's records date the Genève references from 1954 to 1976, with one pocket watch listed to 1985. The serial on a mechanical movement gives the year band, and it should land in or after the year of the reference.

Is my Omega Genève automatic?
