History of Omega Watches You've nodoubt heard the Omega watch name often, but I bet there are MANY facts aboutthis company that you don't know. Read on! Each watch mark has the history. But it isfar not everyone makes history as it has made Omega. The history of mark ofOmega is rich with various achievements in the field of watch skill which attimes amazed the world literally. In the Greek alphabet letter OMEGA is asynonym of total perfection. In watch industry OMEGA is, perhaps, one of themost known marks, a symbol of the absolute design and technology.Louis Brandt started researching and developing pocket watches in 1848 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. The quality of workmanship and attention to detail wouldforeshadow the watches that would later carry the Omega name. Brandt continuedmaking watches there until 1877, when he formed Louis Brandt & Fils companywith his oldest son, Louis Paul. Louis Paul and his brother Caesaer moved thecompany to Bienne two years later. It remains there to this day.
Innovators in every way, the Brandt brothers were the first swiss watch makersto use the divided assembly line. Allowing quality watches to be mass-produced, this process also allowed the prices of the watches to be moderated asefficiency improved. The company went through several name changes through theyears--Louis Brandt & Frere (1891), Louis Brandt and Frere-Omega Watch Co. (1903), Omega, Louis Brandt & Frere (1947), and Omega Ltd in 1982.Through all of this time and through all of the name changes, the pride inquality of workmanship remained in the Omega watch.
While accessible to the general public, the Omega watch has an outstandinghistory. Omega first mass-produced the pocket watch in 1894. By 1902 Omegaintroduced the first wrist watch. Omega has been the proud official timer of noless than 21 Olympic Games. Omega watches were designated the official watch ofAmericanastronauts and Russian cosmonauts. The Omega watch was the first watch to be worn onthe moon. Neil Armstrong made that the case in 1969, and later by all Apollocrews.This gorgeous, MODERNE designed ART DeCoCLASSIC men’s watch is a very handsome specimen has a STEEL dial. It featuring a 60 minute checkered innertrack border, black Exploding Roman numerals and black steelhands. The dial is signed OMEGA below theXII and trademark Omega symbolabove this. The case is STERLING SILVER and is in great condition, asare the lugs that are solid and secure. The new winding crown is gently domedand in excellent shape, operating smoothly. The new STEEL dial and the STERLING SILVER casehave been professionally updated, and now are in excellent condition. Turning the watch over I seethat the back lid is in excellent condition. Peeking inside I discover aclean, manual wind gold-plated FULLY 17 JEWELS high-grade mechanism with BI-METALLICCOMPENSATED BALANCE with regulation screws and BALANCETOP CAP JEWELS. This is identified - Anti-shock assemblies, and used toprotect the upper and lower balance pivots from damage due to external impacton the watch. The movement is stamped OMEGAWATCH Co – SWISS – SEVENTEEN 17 JEWELS – UNADJUSTED – #484 with trademark Omega symbol. Also is signed the movement serial number #26, 499, 727. This serial number dates this watch to 1968 as per published production numbers.

I always have beautiful pristine timepieces for sale ending Monday. Now on eBay for 10 Years! Recommendations for the owner of vintage watches: - All Antique watches are mechanical. Many repairs will not be cheap, as most likely they will require replacement of non-standard parts (unlike most late model watches).
- Antique watches should not be beaten or dropped - because repairs may be expensive.
- Antique watches are generally NOT waterproof. This is because waterproofing was not in general production until the middle of the 20th century for most watches. Therefore you should protect your antique watch from exposure to moisture.
- If your watch becomes wet it should be dried off quickly. Carefully open all covers and use a hair drier to blow dry the movement, dial, covers, crown. This will reduce the amount of rust.
- If your watch becomes wet with any kind of salt water you should immediately immerse or spray your watch with fresh (no-salt) water to remove all the salt from the works before drying the watch completely. Any salt left in the watch will combine with moisture in the air to rust metal components of the movement, case etc.
- Winding any mechanical watch tight may break the mainspring. If you can avoid it do not wind the watch hard.
- When adjusting the hands of your watch, move them in a clockwise direction only. Counter-clockwise adjustments may damage the movement.
- If you must adjust counter-clockwise make it for small adjustments only (i.e. for minutes, NOT hours).
- Be careful and gentle when adjusting the movement speed (faster or slower). Don't make sharp movements, and don't touch other components in the movement especially the pendulum mechanism.
- Every 2-3 years it is necessary to service and oil vintage watches.
- If the watch is dirty - allow the watch to run down, don't wind it again until you have it serviced by a qualified watch repair expert. Dust will absorb and remove important lubricants and cause the movement pieces to wear down.
- To clean the case, dial and crystal you should use a cloth that does NOT leave fibers as these may get caught up in the movement. Check with your Watch repair expert to get an appropriate cloth.
- Keep your antiques watch away from magnets. Strong magnetic fields may affect the accuracy of your watch since some vintage watches were made with iron based components in the movement.
- Most Cases and Covers are fine components and will not handle abuse well. The watch should not be shaken, beaten, or stressed.
- Antique watches generally experience an error of up to 5-7 minutes a day. Any accuracy of +- 5 minutes is very good.
