OMEGA GENEVA 18 KARAT GOLD, AUTOMATIC CAL. 565

Omega watches were born in 1848 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, when Louis Brandt, a young watchmaker, opened a small workshop. At the beginning, Brandt assembled pocket watches with parts from local suppliers and sold his products mainly in European countries. After his death, his sons, Louis-Paul and César Brandt, expanded the business and introduced significant innovations in watchmaking.

Birth of the Omega brand

In 1894, the Brandt brothers created a production system with interchangeable parts, which was a major innovation at that time. They developed the movement called the Omega caliber, which became so popular and representative that in 1903, they renamed the company Omega Watch Co. Since then, the Omega brand became synonymous with precision and high quality.

Achievements and international fame

Omega quickly gained worldwide fame:

• In 1932, it was the first brand chosen as the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games, a role it has maintained in numerous editions of the games.
• In 1969, the Omega Speedmaster became the first watch on the Moon, worn by the Apollo 11 astronauts, giving it a unique prestige and a place in the history of space exploration.

Innovation and luxury watchmaking

Over the years, Omega has continued to innovate, developing technologies like the Co-Axial movement in 1999, which improved precision and reduced maintenance. Its iconic collections, such as the Speedmaster, the Seamaster, and the Constellation, have solidified its reputation in high watchmaking and luxury.

Today, Omega is one of the most recognized and respected watch brands worldwide, known for its precision, quality, and historical legacy.
