History The Omega Geneve line was introduced as a tribute to the brand's Geneva based workshops, eventually evolving into a diverse collection that captured the varied design language of the 1960s and 1970s. During this period, Omega experimented freely with case geometries, producing elegant oval and cushion shapes alongside traditional round cases. The Caliber 625 is a respected manual-winding movement from Omega, widely utilized in their thinner dress models of the era for its compact dimensions and reliable performance.
