For sale is a rare 1970s Omega Genève “TV Jumbo / Widescreen” automatic, reference 166.0123, powered by the 23-jewel Cal. 1481 with quick-set date. This is the iconic oversized TV-screen model measuring approximately 45 mm wide × 38 mm tall — huge for the era and still bold by today’s standards. Currently there are no other examples listed on eBay worldwide.

The watch is in great overall condition with minimal wear. The gold capping remains attractive on the front and sides, and the champagne sunburst dial is original, never retouched, and free of water damage or discoloration. It is mounted on a very high-quality stingray leather strap; the gold-filled buckle looks correct for Omega (possibly original to this watch or another period model — please check photos for yourself).

The movement runs and all functions work properly including quick-set date, but it feels and sounds slightly dry — probably just needs a service/oil. I have not opened the case because of the integrated construction and do not want to risk damage. The caseback shows some minor corrosion typical of gold-capped Omegas of this age, but from the front the watch still looks stunning and very luxurious in sunlight.

A scarce, conversation-starting vintage Omega perfect for collectors hunting a true 1970s statement piece or anyone wanting a big, bold gold luxury watch on the wrist. Ready to wear right out of the box!

While the watch is currently working as intended, due to its age, I cannot guarantee that it will continue working. This watch is sold as-is and may require a service, as many vintage automatic watches do. Please refer to the photos and video to judge the condition for yourself.

I am an American selling from Indonesia. I ship with a flat $19 fee and will use DHL Express (roughly one week to all international destinations).

Per eBay’s policy, the buyer is responsible for any import fees to their country. I’m happy to help however I can, but payment of these fees is ultimately the buyer’s responsibility. Thanks for understanding.

Please carefully examine the photos and don’t hesitate to ask any questions you may have.
