Omega watch company watch first established in La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1848, the assembly workshop created by 23-year-old Louis Brandt gradually gained fame. OMEGA has been the undisputed pioneer in sports timekeeping since the beginning of the 20th century, starting with the Gordon Bennett balloon race of 1909 in Zurich and the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 1932. This was the first time a single company became official timekeeper of the Olympics, a privilege held more than 20 times to the present day. 1932 also marked the purchase of the famous
Le ceania factory producing high precision chronographs and stopwatches in the Joux Valley. Today, Omega watch can be found today in space, at sea, in stadiums, on Formula 1 and CART circuits, on fashion runways, at evening galas, and wherever men and women venture. From the Speedmaster Professional, the only watch worn on the moon, to the elegant Constellation, Omega watches have been the watch of choice of personalities like Cindy Crawford, Martina Hingis, Ernie Els, and 007, James Bond. It was Omega in 1970 that introduced the first Quartz calibre Beta 21, launching the Quartz revolution in watch making. Omega's commitment to excellence has earned them the privilege of being the official timer of the Olympic Games 21 times and being designated the official watch of American astronauts and Russian cosmonauts. In 1965 the mythical Speedmaster was chosen as the NASA official chronograph, and in 1969 it landed on the moon attached to the wrist of Neil Armstrong.
