: I believe it is one of the earlier entry level models from the

: any information that could be provided.
: Thanks!
: PICS:
The Geneve collection has existed in three incarnations. I believe this one belongs to the earliest, and dates from the early 1960s.
The style of the capital letter omega, the reference on the dial to tritium ("T"), and the term "waterproof" on the watch case back are all clues -- assuming the dial is original.
The capital letter Omega style changed in the mid-1960s, more or less.
Tritium was in use from about 1960 to 1990.
Waterproof was no longer used by the mid-1960s.
Cost/value -- what a willing buyer will pay and what the satisfied purchasers sees in the watch!! :)
I like it. Geneves have the same movements as other non-chronometer Omegas of the era, at, usually, a lower price. Remember to allow for the cost of a service and buffing out the bad scratches in the crystal if you contemplate a purchase.
