History
The Omega Genève line was introduced in the 1950s as a tribute to the brand's Geneva-based workshops, eventually evolving into a diverse range of elegant and sporty models by the 1970s. During this era, the tonneau case shape became a defining characteristic of Omega design language, offering a robust yet refined aesthetic. The Caliber 1481 is a reliable automatic movement developed in partnership with Tissot, known for its practical quickset date mechanism and durable construction. This example represents a classic execution of Omega styling from a highly creative period in watchmaking.
