OMEGA HISTORY
OMEGA is the last letter of the Greek
alphabet and symbolizes accomplishment and perfection - qualities that have
been inherent in every OMEGA watch since the company's foundation in La
Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland,
in 1848.
The brand's reputation for innovation and
quality has led to numerous awards over the company's 150-year history,
starting as early as 1900 with the Grand Prix at the Paris
World Fair and continuing with the world precision record of 97.8 points at the
Kew-Teddington observatory in England
in 1936.
OMEGA went on to be official timekeeper at no
less than 21 Olympic Games, bringing numerous innovations to Olympic sports
over the years, such as the first electronic timekeeping at the Helsinki games
in 1952 - the same year in which the company was awarded the Olympic Cross of
Merit for its outstanding contribution to sport.
On account of its precision and reliability,
OMEGA's 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.
In more recent years, OMEGA has continued to
build on its reputation for precision and innovation, presenting the world's
first self-winding wristwatch with central tourbillon (launched in 1994) and
the revolutionary coaxial escapement sur developed in conjunction with renowned
English master watchmaker George Daniels first offered in limited series in
1999. With this illustrious watchmaking tradition behind it, OMEGA has an ideal
foundation for further pioneering achievements in the new millennium.
