A highly distinctive and characterful Omega Genève, this vintage manual-winding model is known among collectors as the “Red Devil” for its striking red-and-black dial accents and bold period design. Powered by the reliable Omega calibre 601 and housed in a well-proportioned 34.5 mm steel case, it is one of the most memorable and visually appealing Genève configurations of the era. Watch only.
Offered here is the Omega Genève, a highly recognizable late-1960s / early-1970s configuration often referred to by collectors as the “Red Devil.” Typically associated with references such as 135.041 in its non-date form, this model stands apart within the Genève family for its unusually graphic dial treatment and strong visual identity. Presented here in its clean no-date layout, it captures the bold, design-led spirit of Omega’s more unconventional dress watches of the period.
The defining feature of the watch is its silver brushed dial with applied baton markers accented in red and black, matched by contrasting hands that give the watch its unmistakable nickname. The overall effect is sharp, playful, and unmistakably seventies, while still preserving the balance and elegance expected from a vintage Omega. The “T SWISS MADE T” signature at the bottom of the dial indicates the use of tritium for the luminous elements on the hands and dial plots, an important period-correct detail for collectors.
Housed in stainless steel and measuring approximately 34.5 mm in diameter, the watch reflects the clean geometries and modernist proportions of the era. Inside is the manual-winding Omega calibre 601, a movement long appreciated for its reliability, straightforward construction, and durable everyday performance. Its appeal lies not only in the rarity of the configuration, but also in the strength of its design: a piece that feels highly wearable today while remaining firmly rooted in one of the most creative periods of Swiss watchmaking. For collectors of unusual Omega references, the “Red Devil” remains one of the most charming and visually memorable variants within the Genève line.
