A History of Omega Watches

Today, seven out of ten people throughout the world are familiar with the OMEGA watch brand - a truly amazing rate of awareness to which few other watch brands can lay claim. The reason behind this success is said to be the reliably fine quality of every OMEGA watch. From its modest beginnings in La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1848 the assembly workshop created by 23-year-old Louis Brandt gradually gained renown. Louis Brandt assembled key-wound precision pocket watches from parts supplied by local craftsmen. After Louis Brandt's death in 1879, his two sons Louis-Paul and Cesar took over control of the business.

Louis-Paul and César Brandt both died in 1903, leaving one of Switzerland's largest watch companies - with 240,000 watches produced annually and employing 800 people - in the hands of four young people, the oldest of whom was Paul-Emile Brandt. The economic difficulties brought on by the First World War would lead him to work actively from 1925 toward the union of OMEGA and Tissot then to their merger in 1930 within the group SSIH. By the seventies, SSIH had become Switzerland's no 1 producer of finished watches and no 3 in the world. The severe monetary crisis and recession of 1975 to 1980, SSIH was bailed out by the banks in 1981. In 1985 the holding company was taken over by a group of private investors. Immediately renamed SMH, Societe suisse de microelectronique et d'horlogerie, the new group achieved rapid growth and success to become today's top watch producer in the world. Named Swatch Group in 1998, it now includes Blancpain and Breguet. Dynamic and flourishing, OMEGA remains one of its most prestigious flagship brands.

1st March 1965 - OMEGA's Speedmaster chronograph was "flight-qualified by NASA for all manned space missions" as the only wristwatch to have withstood all of the U.S. space agency's severe tests. On 21 July 1969 - 02:56 GMT, the Speedmaster records man's first steps on the Moon's surface. The Speedmaster became the first watch (and the only watch since) to be worn on the Moon. With this unique accomplishment came a unique nickname: the Moon Watch. April 1970 - the OMEGA Speedmaster rescued the Apollo 13 mission from a potential disaster, earning OMEGA the "Snoopy Award".

1948 saw the advent of the Seamaster, Seamaster 300 in 1957, In 1981, the newly launched Seamaster 120 set a new world free dive record at a depth of 101 metres. The Seamaster is also famous for being the choice watch for James Bond.

　　1848年，即瑞士联邦诞生同年，路易·勃兰特（Louis Brandt）与拉夏德芬（La Chaux-de-Fonds）开设手表装嵌工场。1880年，路易·勃兰特的儿子Louis-Paul及Csar将厂房选至人力充足、资源丰富且交通方便的比尔（Bienne）地区。 选址后，该厂便率先放弃旧式装配系统，采用机械化生产方式，生产统一规格零件，并引进新式分工系统进行装配工作，装制出精密准确、品质优良且价格合理的表款。举世闻名欧米茄(Omega)19令机芯于1894年面世后，不仅迅速成为其卓越的标志，公司也因此命名为“欧米茄(Omega)”。 自此时起，欧米茄(Omega)以其先进制表技术，成为制表业的先锋达一百五十年之久。

　　自1909年，欧米茄(Omega)便以其与生俱来之无比精确性能踏入了世界体坛，大展身手。1932年，洛杉矶奥运会，欧米茄(Omega)首度当选奥林匹克官方指定时计。其后数十年间，欧米茄(Omega)先后21次为奥运会担任计时工作。 1952年，欧米茄(Omega)获奥林匹克荣誉功章，表彰其对世界体坛的卓越贡献，并奖励其精确可靠的计时功能及无以数计的伟大发明，例如第一台可显示千分之一秒的终点摄像装置、前所未有的电子计时仪和可将测量时段显示于电视屏幕的欧米茄(Omega)观测望远装置。此外，今天大部份现代化运动场中的大型视频矩阵记分板亦是欧米茄(Omega)的发明成果之一。

　　一百五十年来，欧米茄(Omega)已在世界一百三十个国家建立起相互信赖的良好业务关系。多年的丰富经验和灵活的公司政策使欧米茄(Omega)得以不断精益求精，提供品质一流的腕表，以满足求新多变的顾客的需要。从设计、执行到加工，每一只腕表在出厂前均须通过严格的品质管理测试合格。

    设计：在计算机辅助设计屏幕上，欧米茄(Omega)制表大师们力求创新，以符合现代造型和技术标准。

    制造：在各个阶段中，材质和零件须通过严格品管检测，确保零件完美无瑕，尤其是与公司声誉息息相关的机芯部份。大多数的欧米茄(Omega)机械机芯均被送至瑞士官方天文台表管制局（C.O.S.C）接受测试，在经过十六个昼夜、在五种不同位置及三种不同温度下的严格测试后，方可获官方天文台表精确证书。

    修饰：在此过程中，反复进行检测工作。每一只手表的防水性能均须在实际温度和压力情况下单独检测。此外，金属表链亦需经检验，测试是否坚固舒适。最后，制表大师以专业眼光彻底检视每一只即将出厂的新表。

　　欧米茄(Omega)稳占世界制表业的先锋位置，奠定骄人成就。在太空， 超霸专业系列不单是唯一在月球上被佩戴的手表,更曾协助拯救太阳神13号的航天员,获太空总署颁发的“史诺比奖” (Snoopy Award)。 在运动方面， 欧米茄(Omega)是21届奥林匹克运动会（包括要求极度准确的游泳和竞赛项目）及于美国、加拿大、澳洲及日本举行的自动赛车队制锦标赛（CART）的指定计时。在科技和设计方面，欧米茄(Omega)不单拥有无数准确记录，而且设计出色， 首创多项技术，如制造世上第一只中置舵飞轮手表。

　　在欧米茄(Omega)的世界，只有优质出众的手表方可被展示于逾一百三十个国家的高级橱窗里。举世的名人如辛蒂·克劳馥（Cindy Crawford）、皮尔斯·布鲁斯南（Pierce Brosnan）、迈克·舒马赫（Michael Schumacher）及辛吉斯（Martina Hingis）均选戴欧米茄(Omega)。作为本身行业的领导者，他们时时刻刻都反映欧米茄(Omega)的精髓所在。无论是他们的面孔、谈吐或举动，都能反映每只欧米茄(Omega)手表背后的典雅气质、慎密心思和辉煌成就。
