History

The Omega Genève line was introduced in the 1950s and gained prominence through the 1960s and 1970s as Omega’s range of elegant, reliable, and accessible dress watches. Named after the Swiss watchmaking city of Geneva, the Genève collection combined refined design with dependable movements, appealing to customers seeking everyday sophistication without the formality of Omega’s flagship lines. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, Omega offered a variety of movements and case sizes within the Genève umbrella, including automatic calibers such as the 1481. The Genève models from this era are valued today for their clean, timeless aesthetics, solid construction, and represent an approachable entry point for collectors of vintage Omega watches.
