OMEGA is a prestigious Swisswatchmaker and member of the SwatchGroupLtd. Since 1848, the brand has been synonymous with excellence, innovation and precision, as well as a pioneering spirit, demonstrated by conquests of the oceans and space. In fact, since 1965, the OMEGA Speedmaster has been worn on each of NASA's manned missions including all six moon landings.
In sports timekeeping, no brand is more actively involved. In addition to partnerships in golf, sailing, athletics and swimming, OMEGA has served as the Official Timekeeper at 27 Olympic Games and will continue that role until at least 2032.
OMEGA has been worn by James Bond since 1995 and its family of real-life ambassadors includes George Clooney, Nicole Kidman, Cindy Crawford, Kaia Gerber, Eddie Redmayne, Daniel Craig, Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa, Michael Phelps, Buzz Aldrin and many others.
A passionate supporter of social causes, OMEGA has strong partnerships with the GoodPlanet Foundation, as well as Orbis International and its Flying Eye Hospital.
Importantly, OMEGA has a tradition of excellence in watchmaking. Most recently, this reputation was reinforced with the introduction of Master Chronometer certification. Approved by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS), this standard represents the Swiss industry’s highest for precision, magnetic resistance and chronometric performance.
As the world’s best athletes compete at Paris 2024, OMEGA is there to measure every result and record every dream. We arrive at this edition with 92 years of timekeeping experience and the most advanced technology in our history. Take your place on the start line and prepare to witness the emotions, triumphs, and stories of this special moment in time.
More than 10,000 athletes are expected to compete at the Olympic Games in Paris, each hoping to claim one of the coveted medals on offer. The margins between gold, silver and bronze often come down to split-seconds, requiring the most advanced technology and expertise to separate the difference. Thankfully, this is OMEGA’s 31st occasion in the Official Timekeeper role, assuring precision and reliability when it matters most.
OMEGA has been recording the Paralympic Games since 1992. This year, Paris will bring around 4,400 athletes together to compete in 22 sports – all contested in front of an expected 3.4 million spectators. Each event has its own specific requirements and category challenges. Therefore, OMEGA will use the exact same equipment as the Olympic Games, along with some unique additions to suit this inspiring occasion.
My Choice is the latest continuation of OMEGA’s historic bond with women. For more than 100 years, the company has delivered ladies’ timepieces of true reliability, beauty and versatility – helping to support everyone from nurses and aviators, through to artists and actresses. In this new campaign, OMEGA unveils new color combinations and sizes while nurturing its iconic classics.
The OMEGA Speedmaster has been the choice of astronauts and space agencies for half a century.
On July 21st 1969 at 2:56 GMT, Neil Armstrong stepped off the «Eagle» to become the first human to stand on another world. Buzz Aldrin was fifteen minutes behind him and the Speedmaster Professional became the first watch to be worn on the Moon.
More than 45 years and countless missions later, the Speedmaster remains flight-qualified and boasts a huge following. In fact, no other piece of equipment – let alone a watch – can claim to have been used during the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, Soyuz, Salyut, Space Shuttle, MIR and International Space Station programs. Without any doubt, the Speedmaster is the ultimate space watch.
