in pursuits such as golf, bob-sledding, yachting, athletics and swimming, omega’s timepieces are constantly put to the performance<br />
test. Since 1932 omega has been the official timekeeper of the olympic games, and since 1995 the character James Bond has worn omega’s<br />
Seamaster model.<br />
