Omega introduced the practice of incorporating "Genève" onto the dials of their more elegant 30mm watches in 1953, as a tribute to the 30mm calibre that had achieved notable distinctions at the Geneva Observatory.

Subsequently, this nomenclature extended to various models within Omega's lineup. Despite sharing identical high-quality movements with Omega's other collections, these watches were strategically positioned at a more accessible price point, specifically targeting a youthful clientele.

Still to these days, it continues to serve as an excellent entry point into the world of Omega watches, offering a versatile option that seamlessly bridges the gap between formal and casual attire, making it an ideal choice for daily wear.
