By the 1970s, the Genève collection embraced the bold design language of the era, frequently incorporating cushion cases and vibrant dial colors. The introduction of the 1000-series automatic movements, such as the caliber 1012, provided these watches with robust and efficient mechanical performance, cementing their reputation as excellent daily wearing watches for the modern professional of the decade. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-AGX-0023
