It was the watch that went to the moon; the official timekeeper of the Olympics and America's Cup; and the watch adopted by British and US troops in World War One.
Omega is the oldest continuous maker of watches in the world, being founded in 1848. They have broken new ground in watch design throughout the decades, releasing the earliest minute-repeating wristwatch in 1892, and the first mass-produced watch with a coaxial escapement in 1999 - a major breakthrough in horology.
Omega Watch by Watch is the only complete overview of Omega's output, collecting together over 100 seminal pieces from all around the world, including from Omega themselves. Featured are historic editions of the Speedmaster (the Apollo mission watch), the Seamaster series, watches that collaborated with the James Bond franchise, special moon watch editions and the stunning constellation series.
Fascinating commentary from industry expert Chris Hall accompanies specially shot images that include detail of some of the intricate backs and workings of the timepieces, all presented in a luxury design and slipcase. This is the perfect book for lovers of wristwatches and precision design.
