Omega Genève Electronic f300Hz Chronometer - Non-Functioning

Explore the captivating innovation of the early 1970s with this Omega Genève Electronic f300Hz Chronometer. Combining Swiss craftsmanship with Bulova's tuning fork technology, this non-functioning example retains its full vintage charm with a gold-plated cushion case and bold, minimalist dial design.

Details and Features

This model features a warm champagne sunburst dial with applied indices and black baton hands, accented by a red Omega logo. Housed in a 20-micron gold-plated rectangular case, the watch offers a distinctly 1970s aesthetic, matched with a modern brown leather strap. At its heart is the Omega 1250 movement, a licensed ESA 9162 tuning fork caliber developed in partnership with Bulova.

Movement and Caseback

Powered by the Omega Caliber 1250, this chronometer-grade movement vibrates at 300Hz for enhanced accuracy. Though the movement is intact and complete, it is currently non-functional and sold as-is. The stainless steel caseback is engraved with the full reference number 198.0062.169 and classic Omega triangle logo, affirming its authenticity and Swiss origin.
