History The Genève collection was introduced by Omega in 1953 as a tribute to the brand's workshops in Geneva, which housed their top regulators. By the 1970s, the Genève line represented a significant portion of Omega's catalog, offering classic, versatile designs that appealed to a broad audience. The caliber 620, a compact and reliable manual wind movement, was frequently utilized in Omega's ladies' watches during this period, known for its durability and precise timekeeping despite its small footprint. This 1972 example perfectly illustrates the enduring appeal of Omega's classic timepieces. Payment and Shipping Payment must be completed within 1–3 days after purchase.
