Omega Replica Watches - A Brief History

The Omega watch company a�?s early days began in 1848 when then 23 year old, Louis Brands began developing and building pocket watches in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. Louis operated the company for several years traveling throughout Italy, Scandinavia and England selling his watches.

Upon his death in 1879 the company passed into the hands of his sons, Louis-Paul and Cesar. They successfully moved the company to Bienne where it retains its operations base to this day.

Sadly the sons both passed away in 1903 leaving the business in the hands of four young heirs the oldest of which was Paul-Emile Brandt who was less than 24 years old at the time. Paul-Emile, despite his young age, became a strong force in the building of the brand that is today known as Omega. During his tenure and that of his successor, Joseph Reiser the Omega Company grew and multiplied to contain or create some fifty companies.

Difficulties brought on by the First World War led to the union of Tissot and Omega and eventually their merger in 1930 under the group SSiH, Geneva. Despite several changes in name during this period the quality of workmanship and excellence was maintained and the company built a reputation for providing fine watches.

During World War II became a well known name in military and pilots watches. Particularly popular were the Omega Constellation, Speedmaster Chronograph and Seamaster.

Omega has been the official time piece of 21 Olympic Games and is widely said to be the first watch worn on the moon by astronaut Neil Armstrong.

Today Omega is known as one of the highest quality watches in the marketplace. It attracts buyers who are seeking something beyond the run of the mill watch and its followers are extremely brand loyal.

Omega was founded by Louis Brandt who began his watch assembly workshop in La Chaux-de-Fonds. In 1880, Louis Brandta��s sons relocated the plant to the flats of Bienne where manpower, energy and communication lines were more accessible. The Bienne company was the first watch enterprise to abandon the assembly workshop system to produce all of its own parts. The famous Omega 19-line caliber created in 1894 soon became the firma��s symbol of excellence and the namesake of the company.

It was Omega in 1970 that introduced the first Quartz caliber Beta 21, launching the Quartz revolution in watch making. Omegaa��s commitment to excellence has earned the company the privilege of being the official timer of the Olympic Games 21 times and being designated the official watch of American astronauts and Russian cosmonauts.

In 1965, the Speedmaster was chosen as the NASA official chronograph, and in 1969, it landed on the moon attached to the wrist of Neil Armstrong. It helped save the Apollo XIII mission crew, and for this received the Snoopy Award.
