About Omega
Omega SA is a high-end watch company based in Biel/Bienne Switzerland. Omega is currently owned by the Swatch Group. The forerunner of Omega was founded at La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland in 1848 by 23-year-old Louis Brandt. After his death, his two sons Louis-Paul and César Brandt built one of Switzerland's largest watch companies. They both passed away in 1903 and left the company in the hands of four young people, the oldest of whom, Paul-Emile Brandt, was not yet 24 but who eventually became the great architect and builder of Omega. His influence would be felt over the next half-century. Omega is still one of the world's most recognizable watch brands. Brand Name Watch Auctions has an Omega watch for you.
As with other luxury watchmakers, Omega has a staggering number of models in various collections, which are updated regularly. Finding a specific Omega watch can be a difficult task due to sheer volume, but don't worry, we'll try to help you out.
Omega Watch Collections
Omega currently designs watches for men and for women in 5 collections. We carry four Omega watch designs.
 | Omega Constellation watches are beautifully designed luxury time pieces that will never go out of style. Buy one today, wear it forever. |
 | Omega De Ville watches scream prestige. This popular Omega design comes in many different styles. |
 | The Omega Seamaster is the consumate Omega watch. Worn by James Bond, no watch says Omega like the Seamaster. |
 | The Omega Speedmaster's claim to fame is that it was the first watch on the moon. Exceptional quality and design mean this watch will be superb well into the future. |
The fifth collection of Omega watches is the Specialties collection, with rare watches such as Omega's Beijing 2008 line-up, which were produced in limited quantities. We may occasionally have some of these watches, so it's best to use the search box at the top of the page to see what we have. You may visit Omega's website for more information on their specialty watches.
Omega watches are identified by their Reference number, which is unique to each particular model for that given iteration, often in an ####.##.00 format (many other formats also exist). For example, two Speedmaster Professional watches may have different reference numbers based on the model year and the case, dial and bracelet colours. When you've identified a particular watch you may be interested in on Brand Name Watch Auctions, we highly recommend copying the Reference number and visiting the Omega website search page to get a positive identification on the auctioned watch.
Omega Watches With No Name
A practice that was discontinued some 20 years ago, was to on occasion omit the model series name on the face of the watch and simply use the Omega company name. When Omega designed a watch for a particular audience, then it would add the model series to the face. The Omega Railmaster is one such example when it was launched in 1957, but the name has now stuck. Even today, some Omega De Ville watches omit the De Ville name to keep the face less cluttered and more elegant.
A final note about no-name Omega watches is that from the 1960s to the early 1980s, Omega mass-produced bare movements for other manufacturers to build Omega cases. This means that a number of watches from that period were being sold with the Omega company name but with dials and cases that were not Omega. The company ceased this practice because it felt it diluted the Omega brand. Keep this in mind when you find older Omega watches.
