Throughout its 150-year history, Omega has consistently played the role of pioneer in the field of watchmaking. Omega’s pioneering spirit extends from fields as varied as the exploration of the universe to the exploration of the ocean depths. Omega’s expertise is also called upon for timekeeping the world’s most prestigious sporting events.

Only one watch survived NASA’s tests – undoubtedly the toughest ever devised for a watch – to choose a chronograph for use in its Apollo lunar program: the Omega Speedmaster Professional. Omega’s association with space exploration has since remained legendary, with the Speedmaster still flight-qualified by NASA and chosen by the Russian space agency.

Omega is responsible for numerous pioneering developments in sports timing, including the world’s first 1/1000th of a second photofinish camera and the now indispensable touch pads used to time swimming competitions. Most notably, Omega has been the official timekeeper of more than 20 Olympic Games.
