Omega 1480 Description
The Omega 1480 is the time-only counterpart to the Cal. 1481, born from the same Omega/Tissot collaboration in the 1970s. As a simpler, no-date automatic movement, it has a lower jewel count (17) and a slimmer profile. This robust caliber was an economical workhorse, powering a variety of Omega’s entry-level automatic watches, such as those in the Geneve and Dynamic lines.
