Omega was founded at La Chaus-de-Fonds,
Switzerland in 1848 by Louis Brandt, and was continued by his children
until the union of Omega and Tissot in 1930. The company has contiued
to grow and manufacture prestige Swiss watches year after year. Omega
has been the official timekeeper for 22 Olympic Games. A partnership
forged on the shared desire to record for future generations the
valiant attempts of the young men and women of the world to go faster,
higher and stronger. Today, exceptional watches are released with the
same quality of componants and exact engineering that drove the
remarkable Louis Brandt to create Omega, and are known around the world
for their accuracy and performance.

De Ville
The classic appeal of the Omega De Ville
. The OMEGA De Ville collection represents the art of watchmaking in
its purest form. The classic lines of the models in this collection
combine with discreet dials and precious materials to produce a design
that defies passing trends.
The Omega De Ville was the first watch in the world to use one of the
twentieth century’s major horological inventions: the Co-Axial
Escapement. OMEGA developed the Co-Axial Escapement for large-scale
industrial production in conjunction with its inventor, master British
watchmaker Dr. George Daniels and have implimented it wonderfully in the De Ville range. The De Ville has a unique design, which uses an escape
wheel with an escape pinion mounted on it co-axially, reduces the
sliding friction within the watch movement and thus offers better
timekeeping over longer periods, as well as reduced servicing
requirements.
