The question is a tad confusing but the Geneve line is candidate. Last example so badged was prob towards the close of the 1970s. Omega operated a factory in Geneva until the 1960s so the name lost meaning when that closed.
Padders is correct again. My apology for making the question a bit confused.

I'm on my way out to do some errands, but I'll send out a few more questions this afternoon. Feel free to submit your own questions as well.

Desmond notes that the "Globemaster" was completely manufactured in Switzerland. Norman Morris imported the fully encased "No-Name" Constellations that featured the Constellation star without the brand name.
Here is a link to the original article from @mondodec with more information:

mid-to-late 1950s likely a Reference 2852.
Incorrect. Ref. 2852 is a rotor automatic. The 1st Generation Globemasters were all bumper automatics. All were re-named Constellations. Later on, Omega produced a model line with “Globemaster” on the dial. These were US national production models with a domestically made gold-filled case and rotor automatics. Desmond has pictures of some of these in the article.

Hope this helps,

I’m still very much a newbie and don’t really know enough to answer questions yet, but I thought I’d share my Globemaster as an example. 🤩

It’s paired with a two-tone Beads-of-Rice bracelet featuring the “Presto-Slide Buckle”.
