Omega Dynamic Genève Ref. 166.039 – Bold Modernism from 1968
Space-Age Form Meets Swiss Precision
Introduced in the revolutionary spirit of the late 1960s, the Omega Dynamic Genève Ref. 166.039 captures the progressive design ethos of its time. Produced in 1968, this model marked a bold departure from traditional case shapes, featuring an ergonomically contoured 41mm stainless steel case designed to follow the natural curve of the wrist.
Its elliptical silhouette was more than visual flair—it was a feat of practical design, engineered for comfort and balance. The vibrant metallic blue dial, accented by a striking blue central seconds hand, remains one of the most iconic colorways of the Dynamic line, embodying the energy and optimism of the era.
Powered by Omega’s Workhorse: Calibre 565
Ticking inside is the reliable Omega Calibre 565, an automatic movement with a quick-set date function, celebrated for its accuracy and robust construction. With a serial number 27553965, this piece is firmly dated to Omega’s 1968 production—a golden age for mechanical watchmaking just before the quartz revolution.
Recently serviced by our in-house watchmaker, the movement is running smoothly and offered with a 12-month mechanical warranty, ensuring both confidence and performance.
