First Watch on the Moon? Flex.

Omega’s history is cooler than you think.

Omega Watches are timepieces with more star power than Hollywood (and that’s saying something).

Let’s start with the obvious: the moon. When Buzz Aldrin casually stepped onto the lunar surface in 1969, he had an Omega Speedmaster strapped to his wrist—the only watch NASA deemed capable of surviving the rigors of space. Omega didn’t just beat gravity; it beat every other watch brand.

But Earth was already Omega’s playground long before it reached for the stars. In World War I, the British Royal Flying Corps and later the American Army relied on Omega’s precision engineering for aviation missions. Reliable in dogfights and death-defying maneuvers, Omega became a symbol of trust and excellence in the skies.

Fast-forward to 1932: the Los Angeles Olympics. Omega became the official timekeeper, revolutionizing sports timing with unprecedented accuracy. That’s over 90 years of recording heart-stopping finishes and world records. (And yes, their stopwatch game is as elite as their wristwatch game.)

Of course, no Omega story is complete without 007. James Bond donned his first Omega Seamaster in GoldenEye(1995), setting the tone for his suave, tech-packed adventures. Omega even released a special collector’s edition for Bond’s 50th anniversary—because saving the world deserves a limited edition.

Here’s one for the trivia junkies: Omega’s name was inspired by the last letter of the Greek alphabet, symbolizing accomplishment and perfection. And perfection takes time—a lot of it. It takes over 500 hours to create a single Omega watch. That’s not just craftsmanship; it’s borderline art.

And don’t forget the star power. From Nicole Kidman to Elvis Presley, JFK to Ringo Starr, Omega has adorned some of history’s most iconic wrists. Whether it’s gracing the Oval Office or the stage of the Ed Sullivan Show, these watches have seen it all.

Omega isn’t just a watch. It’s a legacy, a statement, and sometimes, a front-row ticket to history. So the next time you check the time, make sure your watch has a story as captivating as the hours it tracks.
