Brand heritage

Omax was founded in Geneva in 1946 as a family business making mechanical watches for the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent. By the 1960s it was among the largest Swiss watch exporters to the Indian subcontinent, and through the 1970s it spread across Africa and the Middle East. For many people in these regions an Omax was their first Swiss watch.
