Omega is a luxury watch brand based in Switzerland.
Britain’s Royal Flying Corps chose Omega watches in 1917 as its official timekeepers for its combat units, as did the US Amry in 1918.
The Omega Speedmaster Professional Chornograph was the first watch on the moon, worn by Buzz Aldrin. Neil Armstrong left his speedmaster inside the Lunar Module as a backup. This watch is now displayed at the national Air and Space Museum in Washington DC. Aldrin’s watch was lost or stolen.
