A PASSION FOR EXPLORATION

For a watch company firmly rooted in a nation many miles from the nearest coastline, OMEGA's passion for the ocean is boundless. Our connection to the sea has taken us to extraordinary places. It's a fascinating story - and we're proud to share it with you.

OMEGA'S OCEAN HISTORY

Decades before venturing into space, OMEGA set out to explore the sea. In that time we have played a significant role in ocean exploration and will no doubt continue to do so, as the huge body of water that claims two thirds of our planet remains one of earth's great mysteries.

The Making of a diving legacy

The Marine Watch

The world’s first divers’ watch available to civilian divers was characterised by a clever double case design. Water-resistance was insured by a leather disc on the inner case, which was then hermetically sealed against the outer case when it was locked by the steel locking system. The artificial sapphire crystal was also 10 times more resistant than ordinary glass.

Innovation for the ocean

At OMEGA, our designs are drawn from the deep, not plucked from thin air. It is the needs of professional divers that drives our technology. We consult first - and then we dive in.
