This Genova Bicentennial Liberty watch, released in 1976, commemorates the 200th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence. Housed in a 36mm gold-tone case, the dial features an embossed profile of the Statue of Liberty, flanked by the years “1776” and “1976,” with an enamel American flag near 8 o’clock and “Bicentennial” inscribed at the base. The watch is powered by a Swiss-made quartz movement, reflecting the technological advancements of the era. Genova was among several Swiss brands in the mid-20th century that produced accessible timepieces, often utilizing pin-lever movements and catering to commemorative editions. This particular model serves as both a functional timepiece and a collectible artifact of American history, and it comes complete with its original box.
