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. 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 subsequent Bond movie. Buzz Aldrin also wore an Omega watch when he became the first man to walk on the moon. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of Omega watches.
