Certificates and extracts

Vintage services

We offer the same care and attention to our clients as we do to our timepieces because we’re passionately committed to the highest level of service. Over the years, our Archives have amassed a wealth of information which we are committed to preserve, so that OMEGA can today and in the future issue – for most of its watches – not only accurate glimpses into how your timepiece was produced as an Extract from the Archives, but also as a Certificate of Authenticity based on an expert analysis of your timepiece.

Certificate of authenticity
