About OMEGA
IJL is an Authorized OMEGA Dealer
Founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, OMEGA has evolved from a modest workshop into a global symbol of precision and pioneering spirit. The brand earned its name from the revolutionary 19-ligne "OMEGA" caliber introduced in 1894, a movement so advanced its parts were globally interchangeable. This commitment to technical excellence propelled OMEGA to the world stage, leading to its appointment as the Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games in 1932—a role it has held for nearly a century. OMEGA’s legacy is defined by extraordinary milestones: the Speedmaster became the first watch worn on the moon during the 1969 Apollo 11 mission, while the Seamaster has served as the trusted timepiece of James Bond since 1995. Beyond its cultural fame, the brand remains at the forefront of horological innovation, introducing the friction-reducing Co-Axial escapement and the rigorous Master Chronometer certification. Today, whether through the elegant Constellation or the refined De Ville, OMEGA continues to blend its rich heritage with cutting-edge materials and anti-magnetic technology, offering timepieces that are as much a tool for explorers as they are a hallmark of luxury.
