About Omega
The Moonwatch Maker
Omega's story is one of firsts that matter. Official Olympic timekeeper since 1932. First watch on the Moon in 1969, strapped to Buzz Aldrin's wrist during Apollo 11. The Speedmaster survived NASA's brutal qualification tests — temperature extremes, vacuum, shock — where competitors failed. Today Omega balances heritage with technical innovation through co-axial escapements and Master Chronometer certification (tested by METAS for magnetic resistance up to 15,000 gauss). The brand sits in a sweet spot for collectors: serious horological credibility at roughly half the secondary market premium of Rolex, with room for appreciation in key references.
Speedmaster Professional selected by NASA for all manned space missions (1965). Co-Axial escapement invented by George Daniels, commercialized by Omega (1999).
Vintage Speedmaster references (especially pre-Moon 321 caliber pieces) have seen significant appreciation. Modern Moonwatch and Seamaster hold value well relative to retail.
