T = Transformation The Omega ''Marine'' line was launched in 1932; the case was patented as No. 146.310, granted on March 10, 1930. The ''Marine'' was the first watch to be tested at a depth exceeding 70 meters. In 1936 an Omega ''Marine'' descended to a depth of 73 meters for 30 minutes in the Lac Léman; the temperature at maximum depth was 5 degrees Centigrade. Upon returning to the surface, the watch was in perfect working order.
