It’s a celebrated part of Omega lore that the brand’s Speedmaster Professional Chronograph was the first watch to make a lunar landing. But the universal love for vintage Omega watches isn't confined to astronomers, and there’s more to the company’s heritage than the story of the Moonwatch.
The house’s origins date to 1848, when Swiss watchmaker Louis Brandt first set up shop. His sons Louis-Paul and César took over after his death, and in 1894, the pair developed an intriguing new movement.
Not only was it highly accurate, but every part was replaceable, making it easy for any professional to service. The Brandts called their movement the Omega, and as its popularity spread, they changed their company’s name to that of its flagship product.
In 1917, the British Royal Flying Corps designated Omega as an official supplier, and during World War II it became the principal watch supplier for the British forces and their allies. These commissions further strengthened Omega’s commitment to ensuring its products’ reliability under extreme conditions. In 1948, it launched the versatile Seamaster. Developed as a dive watch, the Seamaster proved its durability at high altitudes and freezing temperatures, as well. (Here is the 1stDibs guide to spotting a fake Omega Seamaster.)
Thanks in part to its rugged reputation and Omega’s links to the British military, it became James Bond’s watch of choice in 1995, appearing in GoldenEye and every succeeding Bond movie; it returned in 2021’s No Time to Die. Nevertheless, the most famous Omega by far is the Speedmaster, introduced in 1957. The first chronograph to display its tachymeter scale on the bezel instead of the dial for easier readability, it was quickly adopted by engineers and scientists.
Worn by Buzz Aldrin during the 1969 Apollo 11 lunar mission, it’s the only watch certified by NASA for extravehicular activity (space walks) — and, as far as we know, the only one approved by the Russian space agency, too.

- Omega Seamaster 300 165024-64By OmegaLocated in London, GBA real treasure and wonderful find, This Omega Seamaster 300 has been worn daily by its last 2 family owners up until the last few s years at which point it was locked away in a drawer. We have purposely done very little work to this watch but what we have done we will point out. It has an original black dial with original hands. Bezel may be slightly later from a service. Well worn in places with the case as you would expect showing lovingly worn marks and scratches. It appears to have never been polished with the plexiglass appearing original too. The dial has aged and naturally discoloured to give a real genuine vintage feel and look to this Seamaster. It looks to be a really honest example of what it is which is an early 60's Seamaster 300! Our watchmaker has been through to the watch to ensure it is working as well as it can be mechanically and is now reading +/- 9 seconds per day. We have made one or two changes out of necessity, the strap fitted to this watch is a new authentic, black with grey lines, Omega Nato...Category
