When it comes to adding brands to the Mazzarese family, we are extremely particular. Bringing Omega into our showroom was an easy decision, especially after looking at their history. A brand that understands luxury and that continues to improve not only the product it creates but the world we all live is a brand we want to partner with; if you aren’t familiar with Omega and all it has to offer then let us provide several reasons to be impressed:
- Omega was founded in 1848 under the name La Generale Watch Co. The Omega name didn’t come to fruition until 1903.
- In 1917 Omega is selected as the Official Timekeeper by the British Flying Corps. Following their lead in 1918 was the American Army.
- The Olympics understood the value of time when they selected Omega to be the Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games in 1932, they have been involved in 28 games and counting.
In 1969 Buzz Aldrin wore the Omega Speedmaster (aka the Moonwatch), making it the first watch on the moon.
Michael Phelps, George Clooney, Nicole Kidman and James Bond all wear Omega on their arms.
Partnerships with PGA of America, FINA, and the Emirates New Zealand Team are just the beginning. Omega was present in 2005 when Dame Ellen MacArthur, a solo sailor broke the around a world record.
Omega has many accomplishments over its 170 years. Having the ability to offer a piece of history in an elegant timepiece to our customers is more than satisfying. If you would enjoy learning more about the Omega luxury watch brand please visit our Leawood, KS showroom or call us at (913) 491-4111.
