Omega

Swatch Group's biggest watch of the year finally gets off the launch pad and will reach stores in September.

Omega released a new 42mm Speedmaster and hosted veterans from NASA as part of the celebrations.

It is the second ecommerce site for Swatch Group's flagship brand, following two years after the introduction of a transactional site in the United States in 2017.

As well as a bigger Rolex space, the refurbished store now has a Breitling area and has grown its Omega area.

Great Britain and Switzerland increased their sales, while other countries such as France were very weak, especially at the end of the year as the yellow vest protests shut down key city centres including Paris.

The new 43.5mm sized model, powered by the brand's Master Chronometer Calibre 8806, comes in black ceramic and titanium.

50th anniversary of the first man on the moon, a 5-year warranty on all watches and the re-launch of the Calibre 321 give Omega retailers plenty to shout about in 2019.

No news has been shared on which families of watches will use the re-issued 321, nor do we have any work on when or where Omega's 2019 collections will be launched.
