History The Omega Genève collection first appeared in the 1950s as a premium line of dress watches, named in honor of the brand's precision testing at the Geneva Observatory. By the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Genève line had evolved into a broad and highly successful range of reliable, elegantly designed timepieces. Powered by robust in-house movements like the Caliber 684, these watches provided excellent automatic winding efficiency in a compact format, making them highly regarded choices for ladies' watches of the period.
