OMEGA has continually made significant contributions to the art of watchmaking since its founding in 1848. These include the calibre "Omega" introduced in 1894 and the "Marine" created in 1932. They range from the launch of the Speedmaster in 1957 to the Co-Axial calibres which took the horological industry by storm half a century later. While OMEGA has distinguished itself in a number of different professional areas, the brand has always remained true to the core identity it established more than 160 years ago: innovative watchmaker.
OMEGA's wristwatches have been awarded for their design excellence nearly as often as they have been honoured for their accuracy. The watches in OMEGA's catalogue share a proud design tradition whose roots can be traced back through the brand's long history.
