Omega, a Swiss luxury watchmaker, has an illustrious history that dates back to 1848. Founded by Louis Brandt in La Chaux-de-Fonds, the company initially operated under his name until 1903 when it was renamed Omega Watch Co., symbolizing excellence and achievement. Omega's reputation for precision and innovation was solidified in 1917 when the British Royal Flying Corps chose Omega watches as their official timekeepers for combat units, followed by the American army in 1918.
