Omega
-150 years at the forefront of watchmaking. Omega watches continue
to make strides in both technology and design with elegant timepieces
prized by collectors and aficionados alike.
The
Bienne company was the first watch enterprise to abandon the assembly
workshop system, in favour of a true modern factory producing all
its own parts.
The
introduction of Switzerland's first "divided assembly system" based
on the inter-changeability of standardized parts enabled the firm
to turn out top precision watches of irreproachable quality at competitive
prices.
The
famous "Omega" 19-line calibre created in 1894 soon became
the firm's symbol of excellence-and the namesake of the entire company.
