These watches were all presented by the Omega Museum Director, the magical Petros Protopapas, at an event called ‘The Night of Omega Firsts’ presented by Time and Tide Watches. It was held at Vue de Monde in Melbourne, Australia, and in it, 12 irreplaceable Omega watches were unveiled and explained.
The watches represented a wide collection of Omega ‘firsts’. The first Omega dive watch. The first Omega wristwatch sized tourbillon. The first stopwatch they developed for the LA Olympic Games in ’32. The first timepiece to carry the ‘Omega’ calibre that later gave the company its name. Over 100 years of Omega history in one room; rare pieces, super rare pieces and unique, prototype pieces.

What about the Bond Seamaster? Since Omega basically funded the whole 007 movie franchise it should at least get a mention. And Prince William wears one.
Awesome video!
Thanks for the video. Learnt more stuff about such a wonderful brand.
Nice video and interesting storytelling. Thanks! In contrast, the event looks almost ridiculously mundane… Are the common folks in AUS going to be able to see these watches, too?
Enough with the re-issues. Do something original… Like Grand Seiko spring drive or ceramic bezel or hardened submarine steel
Nice video that was cool. Omega is awesome!

ho ho ho, this is going to be gooooood 🙂
How did Luke Ball get a guernsey? Andrew, are you an Old Xav? 😉
Awesome!! No wonder why OMEGA is one of the most respected watch brands in the world. PATEK PHILIPPE, JAEGER-LECOULTRE, GIRARD PERREGAUX, SEIKO(GS & CREDOR) and OMEGA for me are the HOLY TRINITY of watchmaking.
Ayyye, HD !
Loved the video and the history behind each watch but my god who tf edits these videos, every single video the music is too loud compared to the vocals. It should accompany the voices not drown them out causing the viewer to focus to hear the words. You can do it for free with audacity so please sort this out.
No 1957 Railmaster?
Ended with the ablogtowatch vlog theme song…
