History The Omega Genève line was originally introduced to celebrate the brand's highest quality watches produced in Geneva. By the late 1960s and early 1970s, the collection grew to encompass a wide variety of elegant and versatile timepieces. This period saw Omega experimenting with creative case geometries, such as articulated lugs, to offer distinctive styling within their classic dress watch ranges. The caliber 485 is part of Omega's respected family of compact manual-winding movements, designed specifically to bring reliable mechanical performance to smaller, design-focused cases.
