Omega Geneve Date 136.041

1969 Omega Geneve Date Model 136.041 Manual Wind with rare Red baton and hand markers

This Watch We have here a stunning Omega Geneve date, model 136.041, with the Unusual Rarer Red/Black markers and hands.The way this dial captures the light gives it a satin burst effect. What we particularly love about this watch is the simplistic design central seconds hand, sweeping its way around the dial. The bold baton hour markers complement the hour and minute hands and pull the whole design of the watch together. This watch is powered by the ever-reliable, Omega caliber 613, which sits in the stainless steel, 34mm, tonneau-shaped, screwback case with satin burst bezel .We've paired this watch on a black racing strap to give the watch a more sporty feel, but it can be dressed up or down with straps to suit ever occasion.

It wasn't until 1885, when the company had been taken over by Louis' sons, that the first mass-produced caliber, the Labrador, was released. By 1903, the company had renamed itself Omega and only two years later were they the official timekeepers at many sporting events across Switzerland. Omega stepped onto an international stage in 1932 as the official timekeepers at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles, the first of over 20 Olympic Games. Omega were one of the 12 companies, now known as the Dirty Dozen, commissioned to produce watches for the British Military during the Second World War. One of Omega's most iconic watches, the Seamaster, was introduced in 1948 to celebrate their 100th anniversary. Over 70 years later, it is still one of Omega's best selling watches. Omega made headlines in 1962 when Wally Schirra wore the Speedmaster as part of NASA's first crewed spaceflight programme, making the Speedmaster the first watch to enter space. It was only a few years before the Speedmaster became the official chronograph for the American space missions and was worn by Buzz Aldrin as well as the Apollo 13 crew. Omega are still involved with NASA and have been instrumental in creating vital pieces of equipment for space exploration. Omega's reputation continued to soar in the 1990s with Omega Seamaster worn by Pierce Brosnan as James Bond. As well as post-1995 James Bonds, Omega has been worn by the likes of Elvis Presley, John F. Kennedy, Prince William, Rory McIlroy, Ringo Starr, Michael Phelps, Cindy Crawford and George Clooney. This watch comes fully serviced by our on-site workshop and with a 12 month, non-waterproof service cover.
