Founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, Omega built its reputation on precision. It became the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games in 1932, and NASA later chose the Omega Speedmaster for its space missions, making it the first watch on the moon during Apollo 11 in 1969. The Constellation, Seamaster, and De Ville collections, introduced in the late 20th century, established Omega as a leader in luxury watchmaking. Omega remains known for its designs and craftsmanship, worn by collectors around the world.
