History The Omega Genève line was first introduced in 1953 as a tribute to the brand's workshops in Geneva, Switzerland, where their most highly regulated and refined watches were assembled. By the late 1960s and into the 1970s, the Genève collection had expanded to encompass a wide variety of versatile, everyday luxury timepieces. It became Omega's most successful line during this period, known for combining the brand's rigorous mechanical standards with contemporary, youthful designs. The ladies' models from this era are particularly celebrated for their elegant proportions and the impressive miniaturization of Omega's reliable mechanical calibers.
