At Atlanta Luxury Watches, we have a stellar track record of providing clients with the best luxury watches from leading brands like Omega. If you are a first-time buyer or luxury watch enthusiast, we recommend consulting a professional before investing in a timepiece. Here are frequently asked questions about Omega watches to help you make an informed purchase.

Are Omega Watches Reliable?

Omega is a Swiss brand that dates back to the 19th century. Since it was founded, many improvements have been made to guarantee buyers reliability and durability. A popular model is the Speedmaster, which was approved for space flight missions and extra-vehicular activities (EVA) by NASA in the early 1960s. The recent introduction of the horological pedigree, also known as the Master Chronometer, from METAS measures water resistance, accuracy, and resistance to electromagnetism. Omega watches are the only luxury timepieces on the market with this certification.

Are Omega Watches Good?

Omega has a long history of manufacturing top-quality luxury watches. Technological advancement has led to the design of unique models suited for different activities, such as water sports, sub-aquatic exploration, and more. Whether you prefer sports or classic luxury watches, visit our watch store to check out our vast collection. We guarantee optimal accuracy, reliability, and durability when you purchase a timepiece.

Are Omega Watches Accurate?

The answer is yes. New models have the Master Chronometer designation, meaning they are accurate up to -0/+5 seconds per day. While most luxury watches have a COSC Chronometer designation, the Master Chronometer in Omega watches is more accurate. We believe accuracy is vital when buying a high quality watch, hence the need to visit a reputable watch store for information and guidance.

When Were Omega Watches Made?

As mentioned, Luis Brandt founded the Swiss brand in the 19th century. However, the company operated under the traded name La Generale Watch Co. After the founder passed away, his two sons took over and incorporated "Omega" into the company name in 1903. Eighty years later, the company name changed from Louis Brandt et Frére–Omega Watch Co. to Omega SA, a subsidiary of a large conglomerate in the Swiss luxury watch industry, Swatch Group.

Are Omega Watches Self-Winding?

Most Omega models are automatic, meaning they have self-winding movements. The in-built weighted rotor allows for automatic winding, but the brand also manufactures battery-powered quartz and hand-mound movements. We can help you choose a timepiece that’s suited to your needs without compromising function or accuracy. Our extensive catalog of Omega watches comprises automatic and quartz models, allowing us to offer prospective buyers a range of quality products.
