This brand, which is easy to read and also easy to pronounce in most major languages around the world, has gradually supplanted other brands created by the brandt family such as "louis brandt", "gurzelen", or labrador. The company's first wristwatches were made at the beginning of the century.

These clock mechanisms usually had silver sealed cases, 12-line movements, and adjustable passers-by for their leather strap. World War I soldiers needed wristwatches with metal protection grilles on reinforced glass. Either on the left or on the right. Most of these watches had large luminous numerals and large luminous metal-coated needles. Louis brandt and brothers sa (lbf) sold his first wristwatches with movements.

The company's watches won first place in a competition in nueunburg and omega was similarly victorious in kew-teddington where the company broke all the precision records in 1930.

Omega did the same thing from 1932 to 1934 and almost uninterrupted from 1941 to 1967. The winners were wristwatches with great calibres of the best quality. The omega engineers were already working on the concept of waterproof wristwatches at the time.

A few specimens of the famous "marine watch" can still be in good condition today. This rectangular watch with its double case stunned the experts, as did the first domega sports watch, waterproof at 135 meters, the marine watch was not as suitable for deep dives as the current waterproof watches, but nevertheless the fact that Quomega was the first to produce one in the 1930s was a very important step. Here too the domega specialists had already recognized what would be important details for the upcoming utility wristwatches. The same applies to the first chronographs. So to speak: if you have the chance to see one, buy it!
