The Omega Story

The Omega watch story begins in 1848, when founder Louis Brandt began hand assembling key-wound precision pocket watches from parts supplied by local craftsmen in his principality La Chaux-de-Fonds, in the northwest corner of Switzerland. However, the Omega name didn’t appear until 1894, after Louis Brandt had passed away and his watchmaking traditions were taken over by his sons, Louis-Paul and Cesar Brandt. Omega watches have long been associated with glamorous screen and sports stars–the Omega Seamaster is famous for being the watch of choice for James Bond–with current ambassadors including Pierce Brosnan, Nicole Kidman, tennis player Anna Kournikova, and swimmers Michael Phelps and Ian Thorpe.

But Omega is more than just a fashionable watch. In 1965, the Omega Speedmaster chronograph was “flight-qualified by NASA for all manned space missions” as the only wristwatch to have withstood all of the U.S. space agency’s severe tests, including passing grades for extreme shocks, vibrations, and temperatures ranging from -18 to +93 degrees Celsius. The greatest moment in the Speedmaster’s history was undoubtedly 20 July 1969 at 02:56 GMT, when it recorded man’s first steps on the Moon’s surface as part of the Apollo 11 mission. Today, Omega is known for its rigorous testing of new movements, cases, and bands. Each new Omega movement is tested on the wrist in existing Omega models, while various laboratory tests are conducted to determine temperature-resistance, shock-resistance and vibration-resistance.

Omega watches belong to a high-end watch company that is located in Biel/Bienne Switzerland. Louis Brandt was the creator of Omega watches in 1848. They began by making pocket watches and later progressed to fine, high quality vintage watches that Omega is famous for today. Omega also has many other fine styles of watches such as the Omega constellation watches, the Omega speedmaster chronograph, and the seamaster waterproof sports watch. The Omega brands reputation for improvement and quality over the years has lead to several awards within the company’s 150-year history of watch making. These awards started as early as the 1900’s, with the Grand Prix at the Paris World Fair. Omega’s Speedmaster watch was actually chosen by NASA as its official chronometer due to its reliability and accuracy in1965.

Omega always seems to be doing the right thing at the right time in order to get good press and promote both their established and new watch collections.

Just this last week, two significant events took place. The much beloved and admired Edward Kennedy passed away. His death conjured up memories of other Kennedy men gone too quickly and the world’s obsession with the Kennedy dynasty. Until his passing at age 77 on August 25, 2009, the Senator, known as the “Lion of the Senate” had survived his two famous brothers: John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy (both assassinated) and his nephew, John F. Kennedy Jr.

When news of his passing hit the media, Omega was not far off. Fashion and good, all-American looks have always been associated with the Kennedy family and it’s been duly noted that former President John F. Kennedy, was a fan of Omega watches, specifically the Omega ultra thin timepiece given to him as gift in 1960. JFK loved this watch and would wear it throughout his presidency. His wife, Jacqueline Kennedy wrote to Grant Stockdale, the friend who gave her husband the watch, thanking him for the “thinnest most elegant wristwatch.”

Although Senator Edward Kennedy was not known for wearing a particular watch, it’s possible that he, like his brother, appreciated Omega’s timepieces for men as well. Omega watches combine durability and a classic sense of style and can be worn just as easily with a suit as out on a sail boat.

The other area in which Omega found itself this week was on China as it launched new watches for 2009: the Constellation Collection. To kick off the launch, Omega created an environment where those attending would feel like they were in space, literally. Against a sky-like backdrop, stars emerged, forming themselves in the shape of constellations, which then converted into watches from this new Constellation Collection. The master of ceremonies is a star in her own right. Chinese actress Ziyi Zhang was there with the President of Omega to receive and show off the new watches. Zhang herself has worn a Constellation watch by Omega for years and was just recently signed to be one of the brand’s new global Ambassadors.

Omega is smart, that’s for sure. The company plays its cards well. Even in this global financial crisis, the Asian market is still buying up luxury goods such as watches. So, to present this new collection, with a woman of Ziyi’s stature, in her homeland, was right on the money. Omega even opened a new boutique in Shanghai. I’m sure they’re counting on floods of consumers pouring in. To entice would-be buyers, Omega offered a chance for one lucky winner to win a brand new watch from the 2009 Constellation Collection that comes in an autographed box by Zhang.

Omega has a wide appeal. Offering both men’s and women’s watches, their watches can be worn to work and for play. Since its founding in 1848 Omega Watches have become and remained one of the most well-known and well respected watch brands in the world. Certain models like the Seamaster, Speedmaster and Planet Ocean are particularly popular men’s watches; even James Bond and Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps wear the Seamaster!

Within the women’s collection, famous faces like Cindy Crawford and Nicole Kidman have brought attention to watches found in the Constellation, De Ville and Quadrella collections.
