Brand history — Omega
Founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt, Omega took its name from a calibre introduced in 1894 that marked the rise of the company's modern production. The Seamaster appeared in 1948, while the Speedmaster became part of space-exploration history by accompanying the lunar missions. An interesting detail: before the famous modern dive watches, the early Seamaster models were primarily conceived as robust, elegant everyday watches, drawing on experience gained during the Second World War.
