One of the many important members of the Omega family is Captain Eugene Cernan served as a Naval Aviator for 20 years, including 13 years with N.A.S.A. In this time he has played a vital role in three space missions, as a Pilot, Lunar Module Pilot, and more recently a Commander onboard Apollo XVII. Whilst serving in these positions he has been recorded as the 2nd man to space walk, and the last man to leave his footprints upon the lunar surface. His choice of Omega watches comes in the form of the Speedmaster Professional, and the Speedmaster Reduced. If you opt to buy either of these watches then not only will you be wearing quality, and sophistication on your wrist, you will be sharing a great taste with a fantastic man.

Omega watches was created in Switzerland by Louis Brandt in 1848. He assembled watches from parts he bought and sold them across Europe. Under his sons, the company soon grew larger and moved in to the building that houses the company headquarters today. Though the company had some financial difficulties during the economic crisis in the late 20th century, and after merging with Tissot and with the group SSIH, they continued to achieve and produce. The Omega Speedmaster Professional Chronograph was chosen in the 1960s as the official timepiece of American astronauts. Because of this, the Speedmaster was the first watch on the moon, worn by Mr. Aldrin when he landed.

There are some manufacturers, who never let their guard down. Omega watches, as well as other like Cartier and TAG Heuer are constantly innovating new ideas and implementing them in their creations. While new trends emerge each year, some high end manufacturers only give minimal attention to them, sticking to their bread and butter...the quality timepiece.
