History The Omega Genève line was introduced in the 1950s to celebrate the brand's top-tier watches that housed movements produced to exacting standards in Geneva. By the 1970s, the Genève collection had evolved to represent Omega's more youthful and design-forward offerings, frequently experimenting with bold case geometries, dynamic dials, and contemporary styling. The Caliber 1012 is part of Omega's respected 1000-series movements, known for their high beat rate and efficient automatic winding. These movements were standard bearers for Omega during a transformative decade in watchmaking, providing robust timekeeping wrapped in distinctive mid-century designs.
