OMEGA

OMEGA was founded in 1848 in the town of La Chaux-de-Fonds and within just twenty years it grew into a powerful empire, supplying the world market with around 100,000 watches a year. As a master of the traditional art of watchmaking, OMEGA also became one of the greatest pioneers in the industry. Through its constant efforts and dedication to improving the accuracy and reliability of its timepieces, the brand achieved major innovations in both watchmaking and sports timekeeping. Since then, the Swiss manufacturer has set the pace in many areas. Its achievements include supporting NASA and its astronauts on their missions into space, industrialising the Co-Axial escapement, serving as the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games, and collaborating with the filmmakers behind the world’s most famous secret agent, James Bond.
