Co-Axial technology

In 1999, OMEGA launched its first wristwatch equipped with a Co-Axial escapement and it signalled a revolution in the mechanical watchmaking industry. OMEGA’s exclusive Co-Axial calibres are, quite simply, the best series-produced mechanical watch movements in the world. Read the Co-Axial story and take a look at how the movement works.

Omega museum

The newly-renovated OMEGA Museum opened to the public on the 3rd of May. Its displays, representing OMEGA’s long history, include founder Louis Brandt’s workbench, watches worn on the Moon and Olympic Games timekeeping equipment.

News from Space

The International Space Station has had an uninterrupted human presence since November of 2000. Since then, more than 160 scientists and engineers from sixteen different partner nations have visited the internationally developed research facility. In this section, we are happy to offer updated information provided by members of the current mission.

Spirit & History

Our pioneering spirit has taken us to the Moon, helped us conquer the oceans’ depths, and allowed us to time the world’s most important sporting events. At the same time, we were setting precision records and have been continuously re-defining state-of-the-art mechanical watchmaking since 1848.

Co-Axial Technology

OMEGA’s Co-Axial calibres are nothing less than a revolution in the industry. The escapement at the heart of each one has redefined the way mechanical movements are made, with less sliding friction, greater mechanical efficiency, more stable precision and longer service intervals. It is a product of the spirit of innovation that has always defined the brand.

OMEGA AND BOND

OMEGA appears on the silver screen for the seventh time this autumn. From GoldenEye in 1995 to SKYFALL, the latest film, James Bond has saved the day with his most reliable and precise accomplice at hand.

Ceragold

OMEGA Ceragold™ is the first product to allow the decoration of ceramic watch parts with 18K gold. The process used to create a ceramic bezel with gold numbers and scaling results in a finished product that is absolutely smooth to the touch. The technology is a world premiere and underscores OMEGA’s commitment to quality and innovation.

Sochi 2014

At the upcoming Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games, OMEGA will proudly assume the responsibilities of Official Timekeeper for the 26th time since 1932. We look forward to serving the world’s finest winter athletes in Sochi at Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games that will be marked with tradition, culture and the spirit of modern Russia.
