blomman Mr Blue shares his admiration for the Omega Genève Dynamic Day-Date, a distinctive timepiece from the 1970s. This post highlights the watch's unique oval case, vibrant dial, and the automatic caliber 752 movement, offering a personal look at a friend's reference 166.089 and catalog images.
Friends,
As you know I am really into the Funky Seventies…
One of the Omega watches from that period I have been looking at but never come to own is the Omega Dynamic.
The oval case shape and the typical 70’s design of hands and dial really speak to me!
I still haven’t got one, but a friend of mine got himself a reference 166.089.

The oval case with sloping bezel - really cool!
Love the dial and hands, the big blue sweeping second hand…
Personally I would have preferred a date only but the Day-Date is a nice version as well!
The way to set the Day and Date is to first set the day by setting the time (until you have the correct day).
After that by pulling the crown to the outer position, set the date.
Inside is the automatic movement caliber 752, 24 jewels, beating in a not so common 19800 A/h.

Cheery on the cake – another unusual detail, the original pin buckle with two visible sides.
Congrats to my friend, a really nice Funky Seventies find!

Quite common here. I believe that Omega sold tons of this watch here. Never paid any attention on this watch but now, seeing your post, I go to hunt a perfect date only one. Thanks for the motivation. Cheers, Nilo
But often in poor condition. This one is fresh from SPA, in stunning condition! Best Blomman
I always liked the Genève. It is a very "stand alone" type of watch. I personally like the oval form, where the lenght is shorter than the whidth, very much! It fits also smaller wrists, like mine... ;-) How is the strap attached?
From the back a ring is screwed down on the case fixating the strap. Very unusual design! Best Blomman
