Brand heritage

Omega was founded by Louis Brandt in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, in 1848 and moved to Biel/Bienne in 1880. The De Ville line began in 1960 as a dress version of the Seamaster and became its own collection in 1967; its quartz models of the 1970s and 1980s often carried the cityscape medallion on the case back.
