Whether you are interested in a sports watch, a classic or a limited edition, OMEGA offers a wide range of models with different features to suit both tastes and needs.

History of OMEGA watches

The history of OMEGA, the prestigious watchmaker, dates back to 1848. At that time, a young man named Louis Brandt decided to set up a pocket watch assembly workshop in La Chaux- de-Fonds, Switzerland, in the Canton of Neuenburg. Working with several small local suppliers, Louis managed to sell his watches in different countries such as Italy, the United Kingdom and Scandinavia.

Over the years, the reputation of his small watchmaking company grew and the management passed into the hands of Brandt’s sons. They took the important step of starting to manufacture their own movements and moved the company’s headquarters to Biel in Canton Bern. It was not until 1903, when the third generation took over the leadership, that the name “OMEGA” was officially incorporated into the company.

The name “OMEGA” reflects the excellence and perfection of its timepieces. As well as being the last letter of the Greek alphabet, it symbolises completion and the pursuit of perfection.

In 1930, OMEGA entered into a partnership with Tissot to cope with the crisis caused by the First World War, without compromising its identity. OMEGA continued to serve the luxury watch market, while Tissot focused on the middle class. However, years later, both brands were affected by the advent of quartz technology in the watch market, which plunged the industry into crisis. This situation was only overcome in 1983 with the creation of the Swatch Group, to which OMEGA still belongs today.
