History The Genève collection was originally established to honor Omega's workshops located in Geneva, eventually evolving into a diverse line of elegant timepieces. The reference 511.417 reflects the distinct design trends of the 1970s with its unusual oval case profile. To power this unique shape, Omega utilized the compact manual-winding Caliber 625, a reliable movement frequently found in ladies' watches, fitting it securely into the case using a spacer ring.
