History The Genève line was introduced by Omega in the mid-20th century to designate high-quality dress watches manufactured to exacting standards. By the 1970s, the collection embraced the bold design language of the era, introducing cushion and square cases that departed from traditional round profiles. The Caliber 565 inside is widely respected among collectors for its robust construction, precise swan-neck regulation, and reliable automatic winding, representing a high point in Omega's mid-century mechanical production.
