Omega Genève Crosshair Ref. 14703 – Two-Tone Elegance from 1959
A Rare Early Genève with Mid-Century Sophistication
Dating to 1959, this Omega Genève Ref. 14703 represents the early years of the Genève line—an era when these watches were produced in smaller numbers, with understated elegance and technical refinement. This particular piece stands out with its stunning silver two-tone dial, adorned with a crosshair layout and rare vintage Genève typography, hallmarks of Omega’s mid-century design language.
The 34mm gold-plated case wears beautifully on the wrist, offering warmth and presence while remaining subtle and refined. The dial, though bearing light marks of age, retains excellent readability and an undeniable charm that speaks to its originality and era.
Engineered with Calibre 552 – Serviced & Reliable
Under the hood lies the venerable Omega Calibre 552, a fully automatic movement known for its durability, smooth winding, and fine timekeeping. This specific example, with serial number 17365781, confirms production in 1959—placing it at the dawn of the Genève’s transition from boutique production to broader release.
The movement has been expertly serviced by our in-house watchmaker and comes with the confidence of a 12-month mechanical warranty.
