The perpetual Omega

As a extravagant watch manufacturer, Omega exalt itself in the world watch brands as an graceful, innovative and high-quality watch brand. It is chased by many important stars, politics, and other renowns in the world, such as Cindy Crawford, Michael Schumacher and the Chinese film star Zhang Ziyi.      Since its foundation in Switzerland in 1848 by Louis Brandt, Omega has never stopped looking for innovation and improvement.
At the beginning, Louis founded the company by buying some manual winding watches from the local crafters for reference. Over years, after numerous trials and adjustments, Omega bit by bit rose to the industry standard.

In 1903, when the company was managed by four youthful entrepreneurs, with only 800 employees, 240 thousand watches were manufactured each year. Due to the daring characteristic of its owners, the company continues broadening. 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 implemented by NASA and became the first watch appearing in the moon. But the tide reversed in 1975 when the economic recession stroke. The company scrambled forward.

In the 90s, the company was reborn with its audacious originality. 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 gained a great deal of popularity. Ever since then, Omega is so popular among the world that it was chosen to be the Olympics watches.

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

A Review of the Latest Omega Museum Collection

Omega is debuting the latest Museum Collection edition watch; sleek and defined and tough as nails thanks to cutting edge technology and high quality materials adopted in the manufacturing process.

A masterpiece out of the Omega’s Museum Collection is truly the Omega Milestone 1941, the ninth member in the Museum Collection. The new version is inspired from the 1938 CK 2080 watch. Compared with its predecessor, it features a busy face with a tachymeter, a telemeter, 30 minute chronograph and the time. The tachymeter is of great help in computing speed according to the travel time or measuring distance on the basis of speed, while the telemeter can be used to measure the distance of a phenomenon that is either visible or audible. With big prominent 12, 6 and hour indicators and hands covered in SuperLumiNova, the hour ring is instantaneously eye catching and brilliant. The two sub-dials positioned independently at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock give a perfect demonstration of the 30 minute chronograph and seconds counter.

The new version also shares some similarities with its predecessor, including black face, white dial markings and exceptionally stunning lugs, etc. However, remarkable difference can be sported beneath the surface of the timepiece. The new version is powered by a trendy and contemporary Omega Caliber 3203 Co-Axial manually winding movement with a column wheel for the chronograph complication. The 1938 Omega CK 2080 features stainless steel that is quite hot among high level wardrooms. On the contrary, the Omega Milestone 1941 is meticulously crafted from 18k white gold with a limited scale of merely 1941 models designed mainly for avid watch fans and collectors.

Omega’s commitment in unveiling the Omega’s Museum Collection is to blend its enriching quintessential tradition of delicate watchmaking and its dedication to high end machinery.
