The 24th and last letter of the Greek alphabet, Omega (), essentially means the end of something, the last, the ultimate limit of a set, or the "Great End." Without getting into a lesson in Greek, Omega signifies a grand closure, like the conclusion of a large-scale event
 
Cocktail watches also called Evening Watches became popular in the 1920s for high society ladies to use as a timepiece and as a statement piece. Smaller in size they were often bejewelled. Today the watches are still coveted for their beautiful craftsmanship and quality - the skill used in making early examples simply cannot be rivalled by modern machine-making watches.

OMEGA:
Omega isn't the oldest Luxury watch brand that survives today, but with the first Omega watches appearing in 1903, Omega's history has a lead on Rolex of at least 50 years and a storied history it is!
Omega SA is a Swiss luxury watchmaker based in Switzerland. Founded by Louis Brandt in 1903, the company formerly operated as La Generale Watch Co. until incorporating the name Omega in 1903, becoming Louis Brandt et Frère-Omega Watch & Co. In 1984, the company officially changed its name to Omega SA and opened its museum in Biel/Bienne to the public. Omega is currently a subsidiary of The Swatch Group.
Britain's Royal Flying Corps used Omega watches in 1917 for its combat units, followed by the US Army in 1918, and NASA in 1969 for Apollo 11. Omega has been the official timekeeper of the Olympics since 1932.
