Guide to Omega Watches

Omega produces roughly half a million watches every year. As one of the most popular watch brands in the world, Omega accounts for 8.8% of total annual sales within the overall market.

The co-axial escapement was developed by George Daniels in 1974 in an effort to reduce friction between the pallet fork and the escapement wheel, and to eliminate wasted motion within the escapement assembly. Daniels was able to fix these issues by stacking two balance wheels using a common axis. One of the wheels is used for locking and the other for unlocking. By separating the functions, the co-axial escapement reduces friction and unnecessary motion within the system and as a result, watches equipped with the technology have the ability to function more accurately and also require less frequent servicing. Omega adopted the Co-axial technology in 1999 with the introduction of their caliber 2500.

NASA began the search for a dependable chronograph appropriate for space travel shortly after President Eisenhower launched the Apollo Program. Rolex, Hamilton, Longines-Wittnauer, Bulova, Elgin, Omega, Benrus, Mido, Gruen, and Lucien Picard were among the companies who made prototypes for NASA's watch testing. NASA put these prototypes through a battery of tests, including extreme temperature fluctuations from minus 260 degrees to over 260 degrees Fahrenheit, gravity simulations, humidity tests, and an acceleration test to guarantee shock tolerance. After all of the rigorous testing, the only watch that remained functional was the Omega Speedmaster. NASA certified the Omega Speedmaster for both space flight and extravehicular travel in March 1965 and it remains NASA's official timepiece to this day.

On July 20th, 1969, astronaut Buzz Aldrin stepped out of the Apollo 11 lunar module and touched down on the moon's surface. Strapped to his wrist, was an Omega Speedmaster Professional, reference ST105.021, with a Lemania-based caliber 321 inside. This reference is a more durable version of the Omega prototype that was used in the NASA testing. A blockier 42mm case with crown guards and bigger chronograph pushers was part of the redesign. The bigger pushers give greater grip for the astronaut while outfitted in full equipment, and the blockier housing adds extra shock and acceleration protection. These modest adjustments secured the modern-day Speedmaster's appearance, which we have grown to know and appreciate. Unfortunately, in the 1970s, Buzz Aldrin's Speedy was stolen while in transit from NASA headquarters to the Smithsonian Museum where it was set to be displayed for the world to admire.

In 1983, the Swiss watch group SSIH, which at the time included Omega, Tissot, and Lemania, merged with the watch conglomerate ASUAG, to create what is now known as the SWATCH Group. Over the years, the SWATCH Group has built up a diverse portfolio of 18 watch brands ranging in both quality and price. Omega occupies a unique space in the “upper-mid-tier” of the portfolio’s hierarchy, and sits alongside brands such as Blancpain, Harry Winston, Glashutte Original and Jaquet Droz. Omega is widely regarded as the second most popular watch brand in the World.

History of Omega Watches

Louis Brandt
Louis Brandt

The Omega Legend began humbly like so many other pioneering horologic entrepreneurs of the 19th century, but it's founder's legacy would literally go to the moon. A 23-year-old watchmaker named Louis Brandt opened his small pocket watch workshop in La Chaux de Fonds, Switzerland in 1848. He was a comptoir d'etabilissage, a superb technician, and a sub-contracting watch manufacturer. A passionate perfectionist and artist, his watches were beautifully accurate and his reputation in Switzerland as well as all over Europe was notable. He came along at the cusp of the industrial change in watch making, as Switzerland prepared to embrace the idea of mass production and interchangeable components for the pocket watch, essentially an American vision brought to Europe by Civil War veteran Florentine Ariosto Jones of Boston.

Although Brandt died at 54 in 1879, he'd thoroughly prepared his sons César and Louis-Paul Brandt to love his business.

After their father passed away they rented a floor in a building in Bienne and set up a modern watch production manufactory using their father's legacy and the money he left to them. They were educated in history and the classics and their company Louis Brandt & Frere produced watches with Golden Age names like "Celtic", "Gurzelen", "Helvetia", "Jura", and "Patria".

In 1885 they introduced their first series (mass) produced caliber named the "Labrador", a lever movement that had a precision within 30-seconds a day. By 1889 they were enjoying an unprecedented success, becoming the largest watch manufacture in Switzerland, producing over 100,000 examples a year. Their advertising poster showed photographs of all fifteen of the modern high-ceiling, and well-illuminated work rooms of their manufactory, essentially setting a world standard for Switzerland and everywhere else. They were the epitome of the promise of modernization.

In 1892, discretely in partnership with prestigious watchmaker Audemars Piguet, the brothers introduced the First Minute-Repeater timepiece, a miniaturized version of a complicated pocket watch for the wrist that chimed the minutes and hours.

Two years later, in what would be a watershed moment for their company, they brought out a 19-line watch caliber they called "Omega" after the final letter of the Greek alphabet, traditionally as well as symbolically suggesting it was the end-all and be-all, which many thought it was. It became a game-changer throughout Europe; the Omega caliber had easily interchangeable components, was relatively simply constructed, and it enjoyed an overwhelming success, proving that high production and such a diminutive size didn't mean a lessening of precision and accuracy.

In 1900 the first wristwatches with the Omega name were produced and used by British officers in the South African Boer War, gaining a reputation as a rugged military watch.

These watches, powered by the Caliber HN B movement, were later exhibited at the Universal Exposition in Paris, where they won the Grand Prix. The depth of their abilities at scientific achievement were beginning to seem bottomless; however, like true partners, in 1903 both César and Louis-Paul Brandt passed away.

They, like their father, had also instilled in their children a love for the industry, and so they had no problem leaving one of Switzerland's largest watch manufacturers (with 800 employees who created 240,000 watches a year) to their children, Louis' sons Adrien and Paul-Emile, and Cesar's sons Ernest and Gustave. The four inheritors received the company with the Omega caliber at a height of success, and in 1904 that innovative caliber eventually led to their official renaming of the brand to the "Omega Watch Company", which was allegedly suggested by their banker Henri Rieckel.

Already renowned for a scientific degree of accuracy in their timepieces, in 1905 the company became the official timekeeper for Swiss sporting events.

Their Omega brand was synonymous with precision, and in 1909 they made an international sports debut by officially timing the Gordon Bennett Cup – a precision balloon race. By 1909 they had indeed become a global phenomenon as they began selling watches on 6 continents. Their series-produced watch movements were accurate, well made, and easy to maintain and repair with that new 20th century modularity that revolutionized the watch industry.

The first war in which soldiers wore wristwatches gave Omega a new place in history. In 1917 the British Royal Flying Corps made Omega watches their official timekeepers for its combat units during World War I, followed by the American army in 1918.

Following the company's triumphant service in the Great War, Omega's chronometers won the top awards at the prestigious observatory timing competition in Neuchâtel in 1919.

As the multi-faceted Art Deco movement was sweeping post-war Europe in 1925 Omega exhibited their breathtaking Art Deco watches at the Paris Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Moderne, once more winning the Grand Prize and turning European fashion on its ear. This was followed by further first places in 1931 when they set precision records in all six categories at the Geneva Observatory trials. That same year they released a prototype of the first two-weight automatic movement, providing bilateral winding, quickly becoming the industry standard.

In 1932 Omega became the first watchmaker to officially time the entire Olympic games in Los Angeles making them the premier event timekeepers to this day. They were able to time 1/10th seconds for those Olympics, but the company has progressed with the years and in 2021 they now measure to 1/1000th seconds.

That same year of 1932 they introduced the first commercially sold diving watch that was double case sealed in cork, named the "Marine." It was water resistant to an astounding 135 meters, as well as one of the most fashionable dive watches ever made with its Art Deco tonneau design. It was dive-tested by Commander Yves Le Prieur, the French naval officer who invented the aqualung. It was tested to 73 meters in Lake Geneva, but five years later it was found to actually be completely waterproof to 135 meters.

In 1936 Omega introduced a brand-new technology to the Olympic Winter Games in Garmisch-Partenkirchen using two separate chronographs to time the downhill skiing races – one at the start and another at the finish of the competition.

The great American runner and winner of 4 gold medals, Jessie Owens, was timed by an Omega 185 chronograph. They also set the world precision record of 97.8 points at the observatory exhibition at Kew-Teddington in England, and in 1940 they introduced photoelectric cell technology to the Olympics.

When World War II began Omega utilized its history of military watchmaking to once again support the effort, shipping thousands of watches to the Allied forces, and eventually sending 150,000 of their "Dirty Dozen" military wristwatches to Great Britain, which were issued to elite units, artillery, and radio operators in 1945.

The company introduced their iconic Omega Seamaster dive watch after World War II in 1948, designed by Rene Bannwart in honor of Omega's 100th anniversary, on the suggestion of Omega's sales director Adolphe Vallat.

The concept was to produce a watch for the working American male with the durability and precision of their military watches, with virtues such as shock protection and anti-magnetic resistance. At 34mm in diameter, the Seamaster was beautifully made and accurate, with outstanding water resistance.

The designers and engineers at Omega introduced the Constellation line in 1952, the first of their officially certified wrist chronometers as well as their contribution to higher fashion. It was named for the eight stars on its emblem that represented the eight precision records set at the Geneva Observatory and at Kew-Teddington; however, sleek and stylish designs accompanied that supreme accuracy. At the Helsinki Olympic games in 1952 they introduced the first electronic timing technology for which they won the Olympic Cross of Merit for Omega's pioneering contributions to sports.

Up until now Omega had made all of its innovations and advancements with men's styled timepieces.

In 1955 they released their Ladymatic, the first automatic chronometers for women, watches of compact dimension and beautiful styling with rotor-driven automatic movements. In December of 1956 Omega strapped a Seamaster to the fuselage of Canadian Pacific Airways flight 302 for a journey over the Polar route from Canada to Amsterdam for 9-hours of sub-zero punishment: it landed in perfect working order.

In 1957 Omega released the watch that would become a legend like no other. Jacques Reymond, who worked for Omega's subsidiary Lemania, had been working on a new chronograph design since 1942, built around the caliber 27.

Called "321," this new watch was further developed by Albert Piguet, with the now iconic case designed by Claude Baillod, on a team with prototype maker Georges Hartmann and machinist Desire Faivre. This became the Speedmaster in 1957, after fifteen-years of experimentation and research. 1957 was a year of three Omega professional legends, including the pioneering "Speedmaster," (which eventually became the "Moonwatch,") the "Seamaster 300" dive watch, and the "Railmaster," the first wristwatch to resist magnetic fields of more than 1,000 gauss.

In 1961 President elect John F. Kennedy wore an Omega slimline watch to his inauguration on January 20th , and on October 3, 1962, Astronaut Walter Schirra took his Omega Speedmaster Chronograph into space for 9-hours on board the Mercury Sigma 7 rocket. In 1965, NASA, after rigorous testing of all chronometer/chronographs, chose to use the "Speedmaster Professional" chronograph wristwatch as it's official timekeeper.

It was the first watch designated for Extravehicular Activity and it's still the only certified watch with the NASA stamp of approval. In 1967 the one millionth Omega chronometer was certified. That same year saw the introduction of the De Ville line of dress watches with the ultra-slim caliber 620, with Omega De Ville watches winning 6 Golden Rose awards at the Baden-Baden design awards over the next several years. 1967 also saw the Omega introduction of "touchpad" sensors for swimming competitions, utilized in every Olympics since 1968. It was also the first Olympics to use Omega electronic timekeeping for every event.

In 1969, on July 21st, when astronaut Neil Armstrong said, "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," becoming the first human being to step onto the moon, he wore his Omega Speedmaster Professional Chronograph, taking the brand 238,900 miles farther than any timepiece ever produced.

This was also the year that Omega installed 9 precision timekeeping instruments on the cockpit of the new Concorde SST. Until the plane was retired in 2003, Concorde pilots wore Omega watches, including Captain John Hackett, the first pilot to take the plane across the Atlantic Ocean.

When NASA dodged disaster with the Apollo 13 moon launch in April of 1970, it was because the astronauts had to manually fire an engine in order to re-align the craft for re-entry into the earth's atmosphere, using their Speedmasters to time the critical 14-second fuel burn. This happy ending led NASA to reward Omega with the "Silver Snoopy Award," because like Charlie Brown's dog, the astronauts were able to keep their sense of humor in such a dire experience.

Apollo 17 mission Commander astronaut Gene Cernan wore his Omega Speedmaster for three days on the last moon visit, while module captain Ron Evans used his own Speedmaster to conduct heat and flow convection experiments. Capturing the world's imagination, the two-millionth Omega chronometer was certified in 1972.

Omega's "Megaquartz" marine-chronometer was released in 1974 with a stunning daily timing variation of just two-thousands of a second, in a precision testing trial that lasted 63 days.

Omega received its 100,000th official rating certificate for quartz chronometers on May 18,1983. That same year a museum for the company was opened on the 16th of December. In 1995 Omega released the first wristwatch with a centrally mounted tourbillon.

In 1999 the company took a huge technological leap in introducing their "Coaxial" caliber 2500 movement.

It replaced the traditional Swiss lever escapement with a coaxial wheel, and escape wheel, and a lever with three pallet stones. Developed by British horologist George Daniels, the new escapement and a novel free-sprung balance combined to greatly improve accuracy and expand service intervals to an entire decade. The structure of the movement was revised to reduce the friction prolong the viscosity of the lubricant on the balance.

A freshly renewed interest in the Speedmaster 300 was ignited by the James Bond film franchise as actor Pierce Brosnan wore his Omega for the third time in 2002 in "Die Another Die," followed by a new Bond played by Daniel Craig in "Casino Royale," which also debuted the Seamaster Diver 300M with it's new coaxial escapement.

In 2008 Omega released its new Si14 Silicon balance spring to reduce deviation and instability, and the new Bond film "Quantum of Solace" premiered with Daniel Craig sporting a Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M co-Axial chronometer. Omega once again focused on the ladies by reinvigorating the Ladymatic line in 2010, this time with the new Co-Axial movement.

In 2011 Omega joined Daniel Craig in a partnership to support ORBIS International, an organization treating preventable blindness all over the world, especially for the most vulnerable people on the planet.

Craig accompanied the ORBIS flying hospital to Mongolia to document the incredible effort. Omega introduced a special edition of the De Ville Hour Vision Blue watch to further support ORBIS. That same year The PGA made Omega the official timekeeper for every golf tournament, making the company the technological stable of sporting events.

Omega produced "Planet Ocean" in 2012, an ecological documentary film that was an elegant attempt to raise world consciousness about the plight of our oceans and the endangered marine world. It was premiered at the Rio+20 Earth Summit in Brazil and eventually it was shown at the United Nations.

Omega's additional cinematic triumph came that October with the premiere of the new Bond film in London of "Skyfall," in which Daniel Craig dazzles the world with two Omega Seamasters with caliber 8500 movements, including a 42mm Planet Ocean 600M with a black dial and bezel, and a slightly more stylish blue-dial Aqua Terra. In 2013 Omega presented their contribution to combating magnetic fields of more than 15,000 gauss with their Co-Axial caliber 8508, a movement that resists magnetism using non-ferromagnetic materials instead of the traditional protective soft iron inner case.

Omega, no longer confident that the certifications for watch movements met the standards of their new watches, founded a new watch certification protocol in 2015 that was approved by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS).

This either matched or was more stringent than the Controle Official Suisse des Chronometres (COSC) standards. Also, that year the Bond film "SPECTRE" premiered featuring a Seamaster 300 version of the 1957 watch except with a new caliber 8400 movement.

In 2017 Omega moved out of their original manufactory in Bienne and into a masterpiece designed by Japanese architect Shigeru Ban. It's a true work of art, ecologically planned, bright with natural light, and with the use of natural construction materials. It was created with a modularity that will allow growth from within for new technologies and machinery. In 2019 the new Omega museum opened, a glass, steel, and Swiss timber beam ovoid sculptural building, also designed by Shigeru Ban. Besides all of the vintage Omega watches, the museum offers fascinating displays, interactive experiences, and instructive movies. It includes a huge walk-in Omega Speedmaster with a Co-Axial escapement, an Omega history of women's watchmaking, a lunar landscape, and of course a "James Bond world" exhibition.

The famous Omega caliber 321, the first movement utilized in the Speedmaster that went to the moon, was brought back into production in 2019, carefully engineered by a group of historians, watchmakers, craftsmen, researchers, and developers.

That year was also notable as The Five Deeps Expedition Team with captain Victor Vescovo took their Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep Professional Chronometer to the bottom of the Mariana Trench in a world record dive of 10,925 meters. In 2019 Omega also released a new sports watch, the Seamaster Aqua Terra "Ultra Light." Produced from an alloy used in the aeronautical industry called Gamma Titanium, it weighs a stunningly light 55 grams.

CONSTELLATION

The stylish Constellation has a legendary styling que that carries the lines of the strap or bracelet throughout the watch. This was a tradition invented by Omega designer Pierre Moinat in 1964 with the Constellation BA.368.0847 model. The Constellation is a grand and broad line with lots of variations; there are currently 268 selections from 25mm to 41mm with mechanical movements, and there are an additional 9 mechanical Co-axial Master Chronometers with Omega calibers 8700/8701. There are also 436 different quartz battery Constellation watches. Omega has integrated precious metals as well as diamonds into many of the Constellation designs.

GLOBEMASTER

Omega calls the Globemaster the "world's first Master Chronometer" as well as their most advanced mechanical movement. A true son of the Constellation models (the dials all have the rhodium-plated Constellation "star"), this Co-Axial Master Chronometer is noted for its fluted bezel, it's "pan" dial (a reference from the first 1952 Constellation), its 39mm diameter, and its caliber powerful Co-Axial 8900/8901 engines. It's water resistant to 100 meters/330 feet and it's available in 11 models in various stainless-steel and precious metals, all thoughtfully anti-magnetic to 15,000 gauss with anti-reflective coated sapphire crystals.
