Omega Geneva: Omega watches can be found on the wrists of many famous people, including Pierce Brosnan, Michael Schumacher, Michael Phelps, Ernie Els and Prince William, and one adorned the wrist of President John F. Kennedy. Omega has been the official timekeeper of 21 Olympic Games and the official timekeeper of NASA. Starting in 1953, Omega placed the name Genève on the dials of some of the members of the 30mm collection which were at the time produced in the company's workshops in Geneva (to put Geneve on the dial of a watch , certain components and processes must take place in Geneva) and subsequently expanded the range of watches with this name. According to Omega, the name refers to the Geneva Observatory where the first 30mm calibers set numerous records.
