But unlike the pre-war years, Omega sought to build watches that could be worn in more everyday conditions, watches that could look good on the wrist while also standing up to the onslaught of travel, weather and daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany of the watches produced in the years immediately following the war were infused with the lessons that Omega had learned while producing reliable wristwatches for servicemen; they used stainless steel cases with simple, stalwart movements, kept dials uncluttered and legible and dotted them with radium for added visibility in low-light environs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Omega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39365291638871,"sku":"40960041","price":2750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/AS04389_40960041_OMEGA_GENEVEAUTOMATIC_CK2981-1-8.jpg?v=1628602709","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/omega-geneve-as04389","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
