Omega is a Swiss watch brand founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. Initially, Brandt assembled key-wound pocket watches from parts supplied by local craftsmen. In 1894, the company developed a revolutionary movement known as the Omega caliber, which led to the adoption of the Omega name as the official brand. In 1903, Omega became the largest watchmaker in Switzerland and gained recognition for precision and standardization. The brand played a significant role in timekeeping, becoming the official timekeeper for the Olympic Games since 1932. Omega watches have also been used by military forces, including the British Royal Air Force during World War II. Omega became the first watch worn on the moon in 1969, when astronaut Buzz Aldrin wore the Speedmaster Professional during the Apollo 11 mission. This achievement helped cement the Speedmaster as one of the brand’s most iconic collections. Other key collections include the Seamaster, introduced in 1948, known for its performance in water-related missions and its association with James Bond films. The Constellation collection, launched in 1952, is associated with observatory trials and chronometer certification. The De Ville collection, introduced in the 1960s, expanded Omega’s presence in the dress watch segment. Today, Omega operates under the Swatch Group and continues to produce watches that feature co-axial escapements, Master Chronometer certifications, and antimagnetic properties.
