Brand heritage

Omodox was a Swiss watch brand of the post-war decades. Like many small independent labels of the post-war decades, it built its watches around movements supplied by specialist Swiss makers and sold them mainly through export distributors. Little documented history of the brand survives today, and most such names disappeared during the quartz crisis of the 1970s and 1980s, which makes surviving examples an honest, affordable corner of vintage collecting.
