The Greek letter synonymous with the high degree of perfection indicating various Omega victories in space and ocean exploration was chosen as the name of the watch brand. Omega supplied timing equipment for the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 1932 which marked the start of its involvement into the most significant sports events worldwide. Omega set the record which is not hit by any watch company since 1936. Testing in Kew Teddington Observatory assigned Omega movement 97.8 points of 100 possible - that is, it was almost perfect movement. That's why NASA chose Omega as its official chronograph and Omega Speedmaster Professional was the first watch taken to the moon by American astronaut Neil Armstrong.
