So as a watch lover it was really a treat to get a tour of Omega’s newest factory. The design of the building is unique and they encourage tours which is highly unlike luxury watch brands. The way the building is set up, with their employees on the “outside” with lots of large windows to let in tons of natural light, and the core of the building housing all the parts needed to build their watches was clearly a well thought out plan. The robotic machines were incredible to watch too. Although you can’t just walk in and get a tour, you can call them in advance as they have scheduled times that they allow people in for a tour. If you have the time definitely check it out, just make sure you call before showing up.

An epic and iconic brand that I love; OMEGA! Wow!
Hot hot hot!!
I have never written a review before but now feel I absolutely must. My wife and I own 4 Omega timepieces. She has 2 Constellations, I have 1 Seamaster and 1 Planet Ocean. My wife's newer Constellation, the hour hand 'fell off'. Omega said it must have received a 'knock' and charged us 400 GBP to repair. Despite no evidence on the watch of any damage outside normal wear and tear. My original Seamaster used to lose 5-10 minutes per week without fail. No reason given. Now my Planet Ocean has had 3 luminescent pieces detached. From the 3, 6 and 9 positions. It happened during a trip to Disney yesterday. Apaprantly, a company that provided watches for the Apollo missions and 'James Bond' to survive huge negative G's and being kicked around the world can't take a ride designed for a child. This isn't the first issue with this watch. Several years ago the glass had condensation inside the face from where who knows. It's seen the inside of a swimming pool but never anything more challenging. It then refused to hold a charge and stopped every few hours. This despite it having all its original seals. A subsequent service and 500 GBP lighter it was fixed. I love the Omega brand. What is states about one. But the engineering is shocking and the customer service equally as bad in never accepting liability for anything. Is the price tag of these luxury timepieces equal to the product? I shall let you be the judge of that.
Very nice company and very interesting things inside
