If you are a watch geek, particular about watch features like readability and precision, then there is an Omega watch that you may wish to own. The Omega watch brand has been known for its cutting-edge horological innovations since its creation by Louis Brandt in 1848. Like many famous Swiss watch brands, Omega is located in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. The company’s name was La Generale Watch and Co before Louis Brandt added the name Omega to become Louis Brandt et Frère-Omega Watch & Co in 1903. The name was later changed to Omega SA in 1984. Omega has notably been recognized as one of the finest watchmakers in the world, a reputation that does not come without a track record of achievements. Famous among Omega timepieces are Omega Seamaster which James Bond wore; Omega Speedmaster, worn in space; Omega Constellation; and Omega De Ville. 

Are Omega watches good?

Yes, Omega produces excellent watches. They make watches for different activities like the sports models used for swimming. Omega watches are known for being accurate, surpassing the standard set by COSC (the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute), which is about -4/+6. Omega’s accuracy standard is -1/+5.  While Omega shuffles between automatic movements with a well-developed rotor and quartz movements batteries, most movements are made in-house. Omega strikes a balance between design and comfortability. On the one hand, it makes highly sophisticated and beautiful watches, on the other hand, they use the most delicate and refined materials to comfort the wearer. They do not release watches for sale until they are near perfection. Features like accuracy, water resistance, durability, resistance to shock, and magnetic resistance are double-checked to see if they are ready for release.

Where to buy Omega watches

To get a new Omega watch, you’ll have to contact one of their boutiques. But you can get a pre-owned Omega watch in pristine condition via an online store like Watches World. 

Are Omega watches a good investment?

Not all Omega watches will hold their value for long. Though pre-owned ones do well on the resale market, it doesn’t mean that your used Omega watch will multiply in value. The best Omega watches to invest in are the popular ones like the Speedmaster and the Seamaster. According to history and market surveys, these are the safest ones to invest in.
