The legend of Omega watch

As a luxury watch manufacturer, Omega stands itself in the world watch brands as an graceful, innovative and high-quality watch brand. It is pursued by many influential stars, politics, and other famous people in the world, such as Cindy Crawford, Michael Schumacher and the Chinese film star Zhang Ziyi. Since its founding in Switzerland in 1848 by Louis Brandt, Omega has never ceased looking for novelty and advancement.

The company did not begin in a illusionary scale. It was began by buying local manual rolling watches by Louis, the founding father. It is with the daring spirit that the company rose to the industry standard after years.

In 1903, there are only 800 staff in the company and only 240,000 watches were produced every year. However, the company extended nonstop. The company once rose to number one watch producer in Switzerland. In the 1960s, the company launched the Omega Speedmaster Professional Chronography and put into aviation use. It was practiced by NASA and became the first watch showing up in the moon. But the tide reversed in 1975 when the economic recession stroke. The company scrambled onward.

Because of its venturous spirit, the company born again in the 90s. In 1995, the Omega Seamaster Quartz Professional was worn by Pierce Brosnan, a notable film actor. Four years later, in 1999, it mass produced a watch with co-axial escapement and acquired much popularity. Ever since then, Omega is so popular among the world that it was picked out to be the watch replica.

Omega never stops bettering. Nowadays, it is offering a variety of models. Some of them could be voguish for fashionistas, while some are professional designed for the professional. I am positive that it is a ever popular brand.
