Watches of Switzerland

Over the course of 162 years, Omega has forged its reputation as one of the world’s great watch brands. Masters of the traditional art of watchmaking, Omega has also proved itself to be among the industry’s most adventurous pioneers. The determined effort to increase the precision and improve the reliability of timekeeping instruments has led to ground-breaking innovations in watchmaking and sports timekeeping.

This pioneering spirit was evident on the 21st of July, 1969, when an Omega Speedmaster became the first watch worn on the moon. Omega also introduced the first practical new watch escapement in over 250 years: the Co-Axial. With benefits in accuracy, efficiency and reliability, the Co-Axial escapement and calibre cement Omega’s superior position in modern mechanical watchmaking.
