Throughout
its 150-year history, Omega has consistently played the
role of pioneer in the field of watchmaking. Their pioneering
spirit extends to fields as varied as the exploration of
the universe and the ocean depths and their expertise is
called upon for timekeeping the world's most prestigious
sporting events.
Only
one watch survived NASA's tests - undoubtedly the toughest
ever devised - to choose a chronograph for use in its Apollo
lunar programme : the Omega Speedmaster, the only watch
to be worn on the moon. 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
has been the official timekeeper of the Olympic games since
1932 and is once again was seen using its sophisticated
equipment at the Beijing Olympics in 2008.
Daniel
Craig again relies upon his Omega watch in the 2008 James
Bond movie “The Quantum of Solace”. Omega have
released a new version of the iconic ‘Bond watch’
with a black bezel and dial.
