“Every watch brand has a history. Only a precious few make history. For more than 160 years, OMEGA has been characterized by the pioneering spirit which has landed us on the moon, conquered the ocean’s depths, led us to time 23 Olympic Games and re-defined the way mechanical watches will be made in the 21st century.

Through ongoing research and development Omega has once again made watchmaking history with the launch of the revolutionary OMEGA Co-Axial calibre 8500. This exclusive in-house engineered movement is at the heart of the new collection and guarantees greater precision and reliability over time.

On the wrists of prominent men and women, of presidents, athletes and adventurers, Omega has recorded many of mankind’s greatest moments and performances. Omega has become, in the public’s eye, the supreme symbol of Swiss watchmaking.”
