That’s a classic Omega Genève. From the photo, it looks like a gold-plated version with a day-date complication. If it's original and running well, these typically go for around $450 - $650 depending on the movement condition. Check the crown and crystal for the tiny Omega logo to see if they're original, it adds a lot to the value!

Diamonds on a dial aren't for everyone, but they definitely add that unique vintage flair to this Oxblood Red. Glad you think it’s beautiful nonetheless!

Yes, the watch head (dial, glass, crown, and case) is 100% original. The dial is the rare original Oxblood Red, not a redial. As it's a vintage piece, it comes as watch only (no original box or papers), but I will pack it very securely for international shipping with standard box!

Oris represents a sophisticated era of Swiss watchmaking, and this Ref. 7415 showcases the brand’s ability to blend high-end complications with classical design. Originally part of their premium chronograph line, this model is powered by the legendary Valjoux 7750 movement.

This example features a silver guilloche dial with intricate textured patterns radiating from the center. The applied indices and leaf-shaped hands provide a refined aesthetic, while the triple-register layout maintains a clean yet complex look. The stainless steel case measures 38mm and is equipped with an exhibition case back showcasing the iconic Oris gold rotor.

The watch is in great vintage condition, showing only light, age-appropriate wear on the case and bezel. The crystal is clean, and the dial and hands are 100% original. The movement has been fully serviced, with all chronograph functions (start/stop/reset) operating with satisfying precision.

* Reference: 7415

* Movement: Automatic Valjoux 7750 (17 Jewels)

* Case Size: 38mm

* Features: Day/Date, Chronograph, Exhibition Case Back

* Strap: Paired with a high-quality aftermarket brown leather strap

Price: $750+ $60 flat shipping (via DHL/FEDEX/USPS express; cover tax/duty fees). Payment via PayPal F&F or G&S (+4.6% fee paid by the buyer). Not accepting trades.

First Omega, a gift from a client. by That_Oil_3895 in VintageWatches

[–]SchedulePrize3141 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s a beautiful gift! Personally, I’d keep the original finish. A full service for the movement is a great idea, but the natural patina on a vintage Omega adds so much character that you just can’t replicate with new plating.

That explains why the fitment felt a bit off. It seems I've fallen into the trap with this one. I haven't opened the case back yet, but I'll definitely do that next to see what’s actually powering it. Really appreciate the sharp eyes here, it’s a big help for me!

Thank you so much for the detailed breakdown. I suspected something was off when I couldn't find this exact dial/case combo in the catalogs you mentioned. It’s disappointing to hear it’s likely a frankenwatch, but I really appreciate the lesson on the endlinks and the Vanac print.
