A flat acrylic crystal protects the dial, showing only faint, superficial handling marks that do not detract from the visual appeal of the watch.

History The Genève line was introduced by Omega in the mid-20th century as a tribute to its workshops in the Canton of Geneva, eventually evolving into a versatile collection that housed a wide array of designs. By the 1970s, the Genève collection became Omega's platform for exploring diverse case shapes and dial configurations, catering to a younger, style-conscious demographic. Watches from this era of the Genève line are celebrated today for their accessible entry into vintage Omega ownership, offering the brand's legendary in-house movements encased in distinctive, period-defining designs. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-OGX-0071
