Watches serve a very important function, such as keeping track of time, as well as being aesthetically highly valued as fashion items. The first wristwatches, with balance spring and balance wheel, were quite inaccurate in measuring the hours. Around 1670 the bristle spring was invented to control the movement of the balance wheel, which greatly improved the accuracy of the watches. The first wristwatches were made during World War I, as a means of telling the most convenient time for soldiers who had to consult a pocket watch with a chain while on campaign. After the end of the war, the leotine watches were converted into wristwatches, adapting the attachments to the straps.The history of the Omega brand dates back to 1889 when Louis Brandt & Fils started what soon became the largest watchmaking company in Switzerland. In 1892 they manufactured, together with Audemars Piguet, possibly the first minute-repeating watch, but it would not be until 1903 when the definitive name of Omega was adopted. The brand was from the first moment one of the most important in the world. The British Air Force used Omega watches in 1917, as did the American Navy. In 1957 the famous Omega Speedmaster was released and a few years later NASA chose the Speedmaster Professional as its official chronometer, a watch worn by Neil Armstrong when he stepped on the moon. The fact that it was used for that trip speaks of the overall quality enjoyed by the brand specialized in sports and professional wristwatches.Magnificent and original Omega watch that can not be missing in a good collection.Measures: 49 mm (case diameter excluding crown).
