Omega Seamaster Genève Ref. 136.011 (Crosshair Dial)
The mid-1960s were a period when elegance merged with technical discipline for Omega. The Seamaster Genève Ref. 136.011, produced during this period, embodies a profound design philosophy beneath its simple form.
The "crosshair" line that divides the dial into quarters at the exact center is not merely a decorative detail; it symbolizes the era's pursuit of symmetry and balance. These lines are one of the rare examples of Omega's aesthetic interpretation of the principle of "visually legible accuracy."
The thin indices on the black matte dial and the date window at 3 o'clock transform this model from a simple dress watch into an object representative of 1960s Swiss modernism.
Today, this combination-black crosshair dial, date complication, and Cal. 611 movement- is considered a rare combination in collectors' literature.
