Omega – Precision at the Heart of History
Founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, Omega began as a small workshop assembling pocket watches. The brand adopted the name “Omega” in 1894 after the success of its revolutionary 19-ligne caliber, symbolizing ultimate achievement. Throughout the 20th century, Omega became synonymous with precision and innovation — serving as the official timekeeper for the Olympic Games since 1932, and earning fame as the first watch worn on the Moon with the Speedmaster in 1969. Omega watches were also favored by world leaders, explorers, and James Bond himself. With iconic collections like the Seamaster, Speedmaster, Constellation, and De Ville, Omega remains a pillar of Swiss watchmaking, celebrated for its blend of heritage, cutting-edge technology, and timeless style.
