By the late 1960s, the Genève had evolved into a versatile and highly successful range of everyday mechanical watches, offering Omega's exacting build quality in refined, classical proportions. The Caliber 601 inside is a celebrated manual-wind movement from Omega's golden era, known among collectors for its durability, straightforward architecture, and reliable performance over decades of use. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-GXX-0025
