Founded by Louis Brandt in 1848, OMEGA is seen as one of the most prominent watch brands in the world today. Owned by the Swatch Group, and worn by everyone's favorite British spy, OMEGA is a very significant brand that always plays alongside the likes of Rolex and Breitling.   In this episode we're discussing everything from their founding in Switzerland to the creation of the OMEGA caliber where the brand got its name, the Speedmaster Professional getting a screaming endorsement from NASA, and everything in between. OMEGA is full of history, and its current watch collection is full of variety.   We discuss the Aqua Terra and its more than 200 variations, the Seamaster Professional 300 and its flawed bracelet, Speedmaster Professional, and Globemaster Constellation to name a few. We also discuss the MoonSwatch, and whether or not that was a good idea for the brand in the long term.   Be sure to subscribe to the show to get notifications when new episodes are released (Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all other directories) and follow us on Social Media @strapandlink!   Show Notes: An OMEGA-Exclusive Collection: 3:30 History of OMEGA: 7:09 Co-Axial Movement: 17:35 Aqua Terra History: 19:40 Ultra Deep History: 22:27 Seamaster Professional 300: 28:28 Aqua Terra: 37:23 Globemaster Constellation: 49:13 Speedmaster Professional/MoonSwatch: 57:57 Mailbag: 1:11:37
