History The Genève line was originally introduced by Omega in the mid-twentieth century to honor the brand's highest-tier watches produced in their Geneva workshops, a facility governed by strict horological standards. By the 1970s, the collection had evolved to represent Omega's premier range of elegant, everyday timepieces. These models are celebrated today for their clean, highly functional designs and the implementation of robust in-house calibers, capturing the pure essence of Omega's golden era of mechanical watchmaking. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-OGX-0029
