Omega was founded in 1848 by 23 year-old Louis Brandt. After his death, his two young sons took over the company, propelling it forward. With eye-catching looks and new technology, Omega has maintained a top position in the world of watch creation. In 1999, Omega made history by introducing the first mass-produced
replica watch incorporating the co-axial escapement, which uses no lubrication and causes less friction, therefore resulting in better accuracy over time.
