Omega Swiss watches are a highly esteemed and respected luxury watch brand. The Omega Seamaster is the official watch of the James Bond films. The Omega Speedmaster Chronograph, the Omega Moon Watch, is the only watch that has ever been worn on the moon and the only watch to have passed NASA's stringent tests for use on space missions. It is also used by the Russian space agency. A proven champion of watch making precision since 1848, Omega moved into sports timing in 1909. In Los Angeles in 1932, the Omega watch brand was named official timekeeper of all Olympic games disciplines. A privilege Omega has held twenty-one times over the course of the century. In 1952, Omega watches received the Olympic Cross of Merit for "outstanding service to the world of sports". An award for the unfailing reliability of Omega timekeeping and its numerous innovations, including the first 1/1000 of a second Photofinish camera, the first electronic timing and the Omegascope's elapsed race time superimposed on the TV screen. Omega is also the inventor of the giant video matrix scoreboards installed in the most modern sports stadiums around the world.

Omega is a high quality, luxury watch manufacturing company based in Biel/Bienne Switzerland. The forerunner of Omega was founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt, who assembled key-wound precision pocket watches from parts supplied by local craftsmen. He sold his watches all over Europe, with England being his chief market. After Louis Brandt's death in 1879, his two sons, Louis-Paul and César Brandt, hampered by irregular deliveries of questionable quality, abandoned the unsatisfactory watch assembly workshop system in favour of in-house watch manufacturing and total production and quality control. Their first series-produced calibres, Labrador and Gurzelen, as well as the famous Omega calibre of 1894, would ensure the Omega watch brand's marketing success.
Louis-Paul and César Brandt both died in 1903, leaving one of Switzerland's largest watch companies - with 240,000 watches produced annually and employing 800 people - in the hands of four young people, the oldest of whom, Paul-Emile Brandt, was not yet 24. Brandt was the great architect and builder of Omega. His influence would be felt over the next half century. The economic difficulties brought on by the First World War led him to work toward the merger of Omega and Tissot. Under his leadership, and from 1955 that of Joseph Reiser, the Omega Watch Group continued to grow and multiply, absorbing or creating some fifty companies. By the seventies, the Omega Watch Group (SSIH) had become Switzerland's number one producer of finished watches and number three in the world.
The group of celebrities, or ambassadors, who endorse Omega watches include Abhishek Bachchan, Pierce Brosnan, George Clooney, Daniel Craig (representing James Bond in movies), Cindy Crawford and Nicole Kidman, and athletes Dean Barker, Russell Coutts, Ernie Els, Anna Kournikova, Sergio García, Ellen MacArthur, Michael Phelps, Alexander Popov, Michael Schumacher, Ian Thorpe and Michelle Wie.
