Vintage Omega Geneve Dynamic - Unpolished w/ original bracelet

     If you were to attempt to describe the design language of the 1970s in one word it would be FREEDOM. The beginning of the 1900s to the mid 20th century marked decades of restraint. 60 years of discipline, function over form, paradigmatic for the tastes of the generation. The 70s represented over the top home décor and resulted in some of the most creative case designs to date. The royal oak, Cartier Santos, Piaget polo, Nautilus, Ellipse (1968), Gondole to name a few. Every brand let their creative freedom reign. Omega was no exception with their C cased constellations and their introduction of they dynamic line. Its oval shaped case is reminiscent of the typography of the era and its design clearly influenced by the space exploration of the decade preceding it.
