1900, at the
Paris World Fair. At the foot of the Eiffel Tower, a century was
ending whilst another began. Symbol of this link between two eras,

A proven
champion of precision since 1848, Omega moved quite naturally into
sports timing beginning in 1909. In Los Angeles in 1932, the brand
was named official timekeeper of all Olympic games disciplines
for the first time. A privilege Omega has held twenty-one times
over the course of the century.
