Much of their success was attributed to the Omega Speedmaster "Moonwatch", (SEE VIDEO ON YOUR RIGHT) the watch worn by NASA astronaut Buzz Aldrin as he walked the lunar surface with Neil Armstrong in 1969.
Omega watches have a few wristwatches that gained international acclaim and iconic status. Another example worth mentioning is the Omega Seamaster Diver 300m which was featured in every James Bond movie since Pierce Brosnan took the role in "007 Golden-eye" in the 1990s.
