OMEGA YEAR 1961, MANUAL WINDING, STAINLESS STEEL

Omega watches have their roots in 1848, in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, when Louis Brandt, a young watchmaker, established a small workshop. In the beginning, Brandt assembled pocket watches using components from local suppliers and distributed his creations mainly in Europe. After his death, his sons, Louis-Paul and César Brandt, took over the business and drove significant advances in watchmaking.

The emergence of the Omega brand

In 1894, the Brandt brothers implemented a production system with interchangeable parts, a revolutionary innovation for the time. They developed a movement known as Omega caliber, which became so popular and representative that in 1903, they decided to rename the company as Omega Watch Co. From that moment on, the Omega brand became a benchmark for precision and high quality.

Recognition and global fame

Omega quickly gained international recognition thanks to milestones such as:

• In 1932, it was selected as the official chronometer of the Olympic Games, a role it has played in multiple editions of this event.
• In 1969, the Omega Speedmaster made history by becoming the first watch to reach the Moon, being used by the astronauts of Apollo 11. This achievement gave it unparalleled prestige and a prominent place in the history of space exploration.

Innovation and high-end watchmaking

Throughout its history, Omega has maintained a commitment to innovation, developing technologies such as the Co-Axial movement in 1999, which improved precision and reduced the need for maintenance. Its most iconic collections, such as the Speedmaster, the Seamaster, and the Constellation, have solidified its position in the world of luxury watchmaking.

Today, Omega is one of the most recognized and respected watch brands worldwide, famous for its precision, quality, and a historical legacy that continues to inspire generations.
