Omega

Omega is one of the world’s leading Swiss watch brands. It is a subsidiary of the Swatch Group, the largest watch company worldwide. The first Omega products were offered in 1848 and the company (the Omega brand name came later) quickly established a large client base. Early on Omega developed in-house components up to complete watch movements.

Omega watches eventually have been used by a number of large corporations and associations, such as the Royal Flying Corpos of Britain, NASA (moon missions), Olympic Games (official timekeeper). Omega watches have been featured in various James Bond movies. Notable Omega watch models are the Omega Constellation, Omega Seamaster, Omega Speedmaster, Omega De Ville, Omega Dynamic, Omega Skeleton Seamaster, Omega Central Tourbillon DeVille, Omega Geneve.
