Explore Omega

Omega’s story runs from Swiss workshop benches to spacecraft instrument panels, but its watches remain recognizable at a glance: twisted lugs, purposeful chronograph dials, and dive bezels framing broad hands. Founded in 1848, the company took its name from the 19-ligne Omega caliber, introduced in 1894. That movement’s standardized components helped make precision watchmaking possible on a larger scale.

The Speedmaster gives that pursuit its most familiar face. Introduced in 1957 as a chronograph for timing sport and motoring, it became part of NASA’s equipment and accompanied astronauts onto the lunar surface in 1969. The Speedmaster Professional still pairs a hand-wound movement with a black dial whose arrangement puts elapsed time ahead of decoration.

The Seamaster family covers different waters: the scalloped bezel and wave dial of the Diver 300M, the cleaner lines of the Aqua Terra, and the substantial Planet Ocean. The Constellation brings another vocabulary, with bezel claws defining modern versions and pie-pan dials distinguishing many earlier examples.
