OMEGA was founded in 1848 by Louis Blanc, a watchmaker, in the small Swiss village of La Chaux-de-Fonds.
The brand name "OMEGA" is derived from the monumental movement that was introduced in 1894.
Since its inception, the company has continued to pursue precision in watchmaking, serving as the official timekeeper for numerous world sports events and engraving its name on historical milestones such as the NASA-approved watch used during the moon landing.
In recent years, the company has shocked the watch industry with the introduction of innovative movements.
