Key Product Information
The Omega Genève Admiralty Ref. 165.038 is a distinctive vintage wristwatch, powered by the reliable and accurate Omega Calibre 552. The 35mm stainless steel case with integrated crown guards is paired with the original Omega 'Fixo-Flex' expandable bracelet with signed Omega clasp. The matte dial with orange seconds hand (matching the anchor and reminiscent of the 'Ultraman' Speedmasters) is both charming and extremely legible. The “Admiralty” anchor motif on the dial is a reference to Omega's long history with waterproof watches, including ones issued to Royal Navy divers and special forces. A much rarer alternative to the Rolex Explorer 1016 at a fraction of the price, this is a great choice for the man looking for a high-quality, no-nonsense, reasonably priced vintage watch.
Dimensions: 35mm wide, 10.5mm thick, 46mm lug-to-lug.
Key Brand Information
Omega is a storied Swiss watchmaker whose history of precision timekeeping and professional timepieces spans well over a century. The “Genève” line emerged in the 1960s as a dress-oriented collection but also included sportier iterations such as the “Admiralty” model, which blended tool-watch DNA with elegant proportions. The Admiralty variant remains a niche but appealing part of Omega’s heritage.
