Omega Watches

Since 1848 Omega watches have been associated with superiority in watch-making. The company was initially started by 23 year old, Louis Brandt, at La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. Over the years, the company has seen many mergers and take-overs, and is currently owned by the Swatch Group. Despite this, one thing has remained constant at Omega, outstanding watches.

Omega is also famous for cross-promoting their fine timepieces with other historical events. The Omega "Speedmaster" was the first watch on the moon, being worn by Buzz Aldrin. Who can forget the watch of choice of Agent 007 himself, James Bond? Omega "Seamaster" diving watches were routinely premiered in James Bond films, further increasing the lure of the brand. These watches are not just hype and Hollywood however. The fact is, these timepieces are amongst the best in the world. It is this, that attracts the likes of James Bond and Buzz Aldrin to Omega. It is the same reason why many so many other watch connoisseurs have chosen Omega Watches. In my opinion, I would say that after Rolex, Omega is probably the most sought after watch in the world. That's not too shabby, in a world of many outstanding watch companies.

Even if you are not a secret agent, surely you can appreciate the craftsmanship of an Omega Timepiece. With over 150 years of experience, Omega continues to mystify with their works. If you ever have the chance to own an Omega, you will be flirting with watch making perfection. Omega is a bold name for a watch company, but it is not far from the truth. Omega watches are pretty much the end all when it comes to quality.
