OMEGA | De Ville
1960s
The origins of the Omega brand go back to Louis Brandt's Comptoir d'établissage, which he opened in La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1848 at the young age of just 23. He traveled throughout Europe with the watches to personally deliver them to the appropriate customers. These days, Omega is one of the best-known international watch brands. When the name Omega is mentioned, one person thinks of the moon landing, the next of James Bond and yet another of the Olympics. But no less than such popular themes, the Biel-based company has dedicated itself to the everyday suitability of its watches: Magnetic field protection, precision in time display and innovative materials are the focus. Incidentally, the name Omega comes from a 19-line pocket watch caliber that the manufacture introduced in 1894. It impresses with its simple but very reliable construction, as well as the interchangeability of all components. This movement was given the name Omega. In the spring of 1894, the company registered "Omega" as a trademark. In 1947, the brand name came to the fore in the company name and since 1982 the company is simply called "Omega SA".
