The History of Omega: From La Chaux-de-Fonds to the Moon

Omega was founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland in 1848 by Louis Brandt, a 23-year-old watchmaker who assembled precision pocket watches from parts supplied by local craftsmen. After Brandt's death, his sons Louis-Paul and César took over and transformed the company into a vertically integrated manufacture — one of the first in the Swiss watch industry. In 1894, they introduced a revolutionary movement that could be produced in large quantities with interchangeable parts, achieving a level of precision and consistency previously impossible. They named this movement 'Omega' — the last letter of the Greek alphabet — to signify the ultimate achievement in watchmaking. The name was so powerful that in 1903, the entire company was renamed Omega.

Over the following decades, Omega accumulated an extraordinary list of achievements. The brand became the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games in 1932 — a relationship that continues to this day, making Omega the most experienced Olympic timekeeper in history. In 1945, Omega introduced the Seamaster, a water-resistant watch designed for post-war professionals. In 1957, Omega launched three iconic professional tool watches in a single year: the Speedmaster, the Seamaster 300, and the Railmaster — a trifecta that established Omega as the premier maker of professional instruments.

The Omega Speedmaster: The Moon Watch

The Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch is one of the most historically significant timepieces ever made. In 1965, NASA put several watches through a rigorous series of tests — including extreme temperature cycling, humidity, shock, vibration, and vacuum exposure — and the Speedmaster Professional was the only watch to pass all tests. NASA selected it as the official watch for all crewed space missions, a distinction it has held ever since.

On July 21, 1969, Buzz Aldrin wore his Speedmaster Professional on the surface of the Moon during the Apollo 11 mission — Neil Armstrong had left his watch in the lunar module as a backup timer. The Speedmaster has since been worn on every crewed Moon landing, survived the Apollo 13 emergency (where astronauts used it to time the critical engine burn that brought them home), and logged more time in space than any other watch in history.

Today, the Speedmaster Professional (reference 310.30.42.50.01.001) remains in production virtually unchanged from the original, powered by the hand-wound Caliber 3861 movement with a co-axial escapement. The Moonwatch is available in stainless steel on a bracelet or leather strap, and in special editions including the Moonshine Gold and the iconic Panda dial (310.32.42.50.04.001).

The Omega Seamaster: From the Ocean Floor to the Silver Screen

The Omega Seamaster is the brand's most commercially successful line, and one of the most recognizable watches in the world — thanks in large part to its role as James Bond's watch of choice since GoldenEye (1995). The Seamaster 300M (reference 210.30.42.20.01.001) offers 300 meters of water resistance, a ceramic bezel with a wave pattern, and Omega's co-axial Master Chronometer movement — certified to the highest standard of precision and magnetic resistance in the Swiss watch industry.

The Seamaster Aqua Terra, with its distinctive horizontal 'teak' dial pattern inspired by the teak decks of sailing yachts, is a more dressy alternative that transitions seamlessly from boardroom to waterfront. The Aqua Terra is water resistant to 150 meters and is available in a range of case sizes and dial colors. Both the 300M and Aqua Terra represent exceptional value in the pre-owned market compared to comparable Rolex models.

Why Omega Represents Exceptional Value in the Pre-Owned Market

Omega occupies a unique position in the luxury watch market: it offers Swiss-made movements of exceptional quality, a rich heritage that rivals any brand in the industry, and price points that are significantly more accessible than Rolex or Patek Philippe. In the pre-owned market, Omega watches typically sell for 30-50% below their retail price — making them one of the best value propositions for buyers who want a genuine luxury Swiss watch without the Rolex premium.

At Watch Bros Co. in Las Vegas, we stock Omega watches for buyers at every level — from the collector seeking a vintage Speedmaster to the first-time buyer looking for a reliable, stylish daily wearer.
