Men's Watches from Omega
However, the Omega name didn't appear until 1894, after Louis Brandt had passed away and his watchmaking traditions were taken over by his sons, Louis-Paul and Cesar Brandt.
Omega became official timekeeper for the Los Angels Olympic Games of 1932 and has continued in that role since then. Its watches have long been associated with glamorous screen and sports stars - the Omega Seamaster is famous for being the watch of choice for James Bond - and current Omega ambassadors include:
actor Daniel Craig, the present James Bond
actor George Clooney
Academy Award winning actress (and former Mrs. Tom Cruise) Nicole Kidman
multiple Olympic Gold Medal winning swimmer Michael Phelps
golfer Sergio Garcia &
former super model, Cindy Crawford &
former astronaut, Buzz Aldrin, who wore an Omega on Man's first landing on the moon in 1969!
In this squidoo lens, we'll be featuring:
the Omega Men's Speedmaster Watch
the Omega Men's Professional Watch &
the Omega Men's Seamaster Diver Watch

“Dr. Buzz Aldrin was the first person to wear an OMEGA Speedmaster watch on the Moon.”
“Neil Armstrong had left his on the Lunar Module as a backup for the electronic timekeeping system.”
Omega Watches On The Moon
In 1965, the Omega Speedmaster chronograph was "flight-qualified by NASA for all manned space missions" as the only wristwatch to have withstood all of the U.S. space agency's severe tests, including passing grades for extreme shocks, vibrations, and temperatures ranging from -18 to +93 degrees Celsius.The greatest moment in the Speedmaster's history was undoubtedly 20 July 1969 at 02:56 GMT, when it recorded man's first steps on the Moon's surface as part of the Apollo 11 mission.
Today, Omega is known for its rigorous testing of new movements, cases, and bands. Each new Omega movement is tested on the wrist in existing Omega models, while various laboratory tests are conducted to determine temperature-resistance, shock-resistance and vibration-resistance.

"The Omega Speedmaster Professional 'moonwatch' is a historical, significant piece of horology and NASA space / moon exploration...it has earned a place on my wrist for life."
Amazon reviewer Tom Sargis Jr.
"After much research, I purchased an Omega Speedmaster in 1968 as an 18th birthday present to myself....it is still the best watch I own...
...Mine has been dropped, thrown, drowned, frozen, heated, shaken and abused for 30 years and still runs great....
...I recommend factory cleaning, vacuum sealing and a new crystal every 10 years or so, just to be safe. "
Amazon reviewer ETOH DR
"The Speedmaster has all the appeal and extreme accuracy of a Rolex, yet none of the gaudiness - it's understated, cool but not too cool...I've owned this watch for over 2 years now and have worn it every single day since the day I bought it. I intend to keep it for years."

What Makes Omega Watches Tick?
or should that be, what makes Omega watches tick so well?
Presenting two videos on Omega's State Of The Art watch-making technology:
video 1 The Co-Axial Escapement - a behind-the-scenes look at the technology of Omega's Co-axial Escapement - the technology to reduce friction in the mechanical parts of a watch - which has advanced Co-axial theory into practice, to create what is now a turning point in the history of mechanical watchmaking.
video 2 The Silicone Balance Spring - the balance spring is the "heart" of the watch, responsible for the oscillations that define the accuracy of any time-piece. With their recently developed silicone technology, Omega can now produce perfect balance springs.
The result?
Superb time keeping with a 4 year guarantee.

Amazon reviewer Freddy Belliard
"I am rather opinionated when it comes to luxury watches. This comes from spending 2 years in watchmaking school, studying directly under the guidance of a certified master Swiss watchmaker who came here from Europe....
...This said I will tell you that [the Seamaster Diver Watch] is what I consider to be a 'best kept secret' sort of watch...Properly serviced, [it] will provide a lifetime of use - and probably more. Absolutely the sort of watch you pass down to the next generation."

Amazon reviewer G. Petrof
"Without spending three times as much for a Rolex, this is the best statement that you've made it."
Amazon reviewer Nelson K. Hendrix
"My Omega Seamaster, which I bought in October, was gaining about 10 seconds every day. I took it to the Swatch Service Center in Toronto, and in 20 minutes they had it adjusted perfectly - for free, as it was in warranty. It now gains 1 - 2 seconds a day and that's outstanding accuracy for a mechanical watch."

Commendably the author has provided data for each watch, including dimensions and movement caliber."
