Omega is the last letter of the Greek alphabet and symbolizes accomplishment and perfection.

The world’s very first marine chronometer is introduced by Omega. Even today, it’s the world’s most accurate wristwatch.

Omega were well known for being the official Olympic timekeeper from 1932 onward, and created many innovative sports timing mechanisms over the decades.

In 1936, an Omega watch was awarded 97.8 points at the Kew-Teddington chronometer trials in England setting a world precision record. 

Replica Omega brought the first electronic timekeeping device to the Helsinki Olympic Games in 1952. At the same year, Omega was also awarded the Olympic Cross of Merit for "exceptional services to the world of sport". 

In 1957, Omega released the equally legendary and famous Omega Seamaster 300 –Omega’s answer to Rolex’s divers watch – the Rolex Submariner. Since the late 1950s and early 1960s, Omega and Rolex have been figting each other, as far as their marketing is concerned, for who has got the best divers watch.

Omega Speedmaster watch was chosen by NASA as its official chronometer in 1965 and 4 years later was the first watch to be worn on the moon, when, on 21 July 1969, Neil Armstrong made his giant leap for mankind.

Omega watches have been the watch of choice for James Bond since 1995. 

Omega watches introduced the world to the Co-Axial Movement in 1999 which revolutionized watchmaking technology. This design reduces the friction inside the movement and thusly increases the durability of the watch movement, which means that the watch needs to be serviced less frequently.

Omega is the main competitor of Rolex. The “Omega vs Rolex”, and the “Rolex vs Omega” comparison on the Internet and off the Internet, is probably the most saturated question among watch enthusiasts and watch connoisseurs!
