The story of OMEGA has gone on display at a special exhibition at the Chelsea Factory in New York City. Planet OMEGA showcases many of the most innovative timepieces and memorable partnerships that make our brand so renowned across the world.
“Planet OMEGA is filled with milestones from an iconic watchmaking journey.”
Within the spacious location, the Planet OMEGA exhibition has been split into six distinctive areas, each connected to the rich DNA of the company. Within each area, a different selection of timepieces is presented, allowing visitors to understand the unique designs that set OMEGA watchmaking apart.

The James Bond section is dedicated to the world’s favourite spy – who has worn an OMEGA in every film since 1995. Watches on display include the genuine Seamaster Diver 300M worn by Daniel Craig in No Time To Die, as well as many other film and tribute models.
