It wasn't until 1885, when the company had been taken over by Louis' sons, that the first mass-produced caliber, the Labrador, was released. By 1903, the company had renamed itself Omega and only two years later were they the official timekeepers at many sporting events across Switzerland. Omega stepped onto an international stage in 1932 as the official timekeepers at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles, the first of over 20 Olympic Games. Omega were one of the 12 companies, now known as the Dirty Dozen, commissioned to produce watches for the British Military during the Second World War. One of Omega's most iconic watches, the Seamaster, was introduced in 1948 to celebrate their 100th anniversary. Over 70 years later, it is still one of Omega's best selling watches. Omega made headlines in 1962 when Wally Schirra wore the Speedmaster as part of NASA's first crewed spaceflight programme, making the Speedmaster the first watch to enter space. It was only a few years before the Speedmaster became the official chronograph for the American space missions and was worn by Buzz Aldrin as well as the Apollo 13 crew. Omega are still involved with NASA and have been instrumental in creating vital pieces of equipment for space exploration. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis watch comes fully serviced by our on-site workshop and with a 12 month, non-waterproof service cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" height=\"322\" width=\"489\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/6187\/6838\/files\/Omega-1955-179-scaled_1.webp?v=1775161610\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"personalnote\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat we think\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"personalnote\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is getting harder and harder to find good vintage all original Seamasters nowadays so we are very excited about this watch.  About as good a vintage, preowned Omega as you will find and we love this model.  It looks great on males and females alike, a 1960s Omega Seamaster is a must have in any vintage watch collection.
