Vintage Omega Geneve Dynamic Automatic Watch Custom Saudi King Abdulaziz Dial

About this watch

A true one-of-a-kind conversation piece: an Omega Genève Dynamic whose dial has been custom hand-painted by a previous owner as a tribute to King Abdulaziz Al Saud, founder of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. A sepia portrait sits at the upper left over a dark map of the Arabian Peninsula, ringed by alternating red and blue painted hour segments, with the Omega logo, "Automatic" text and a date window at the top right.

Please note: the dial is customized and not factory original. The watch has the distinctive Dynamic oval stainless-steel case, approximately 42mm across and 13mm thick, with the caseback stamped "Tool 107 Waterproof", and an Omega automatic movement with date. It comes on a perforated brown leather rally strap with an Omega-signed buckle, presented in a long red Omega box.

Brand heritage

Omega's story began in 1848, when Louis Brandt opened a watch assembly workshop in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. The company moved to Biel/Bienne in 1880, adopted the Omega name in 1903, and became famous for precision, Olympic timekeeping and the Speedmaster worn on the Moon in 1969.

The Dynamic family was launched in 1968. Designed around the way a watch actually sits on the wrist, it combined an elliptical case with a round dial, a monocoque construction and easily interchangeable straps, and it became one of the most recognizable Omega designs of the era.
