Extra Points Founded by Louis Brandt in 1848, Omega started out as La Generale Watch Co., an unassuming, but international business. It wasn't until 1885, when the company had been taken over by Louis' sons, that the first mass produced caliber, the Labrador, was released. By 1903, the company had renamed itself Omega and only two years later were they the official timekeepers at many sporting events across Switzerland. Omega stepped onto an international stage in 1932 as the official timekeepers at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles, the first of over 20 Olympic Games. Omega were one of the 12 companies, now known as the Dirty Dozen, commissioned to produce watches for the British Military during the Second World War. One of Omega's most iconic watches, the Seamaster, was introduced in 1948 to celebrate their 100th anniversary. Over 70 years later, it is still one of Omega's best selling watches. This watch comes fully serviced by our on site workshop and with a 12 month, non waterproof service cover. What we think First introduced in 1967, we love Omega's Chronostop! A design that is firmly in the sporty category, while being no nonsense. The grey, sloped dial makes this watch extra special We've paired the watch on a grey, racing style strap to match the dial and keep it in the sporty category but it looks great on leather too. If you are looking for an affordable, attractive and reliable vintage watch, you'd be pushed to find a better example and it is a must have in every collection. Apparently originally marketed as the poor man's Speedmaster but at a fraction of the price.
