Omega Heritage: Innovative Watchmaking Inspired by Life

Inspired by sports, space, heritage, cinema, and social life, Omega began its journey in 1848 and still continues to make its mark in the watchmaking industry. It was founded by Louis Brandt at La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, where watch components were assembled and finished. In 1880, the location was shifted to the city of Bienne for better communications, energy, and manpower. The year 1885 witnessed the production of Omega’s pocket watches with series-produced calibres that had an accuracy of 30 seconds a day.

In a short span of time, this company went on to become Switzerland’s largest watch producer. The Omega calibre came into notice during its production in 1894. The main reason for increased sales was simplicity and the ease with which the parts could be interchanged. In 1903, the name Omega was introduced for the company and it was decided as the standard name for every watch from thereon.

Over the years, Omega gained immense popularity. In 1917, the British Royal Flying Corps used the Omega watches for their combat units. The American Army did the same in 1918. Omega also became the first official timekeeper for Los Angeles Games.

In 1936, Omega brand achieved the world record for accuracy that was granted by Kew-Teddington, the English observatory. It also received the Olympic Cross of Merit for its exceptional service to the sports world in 1952.

Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional became the first watch to be worn on the moon by Buzz Aldrin.
