History
During the 1990s, Omega continued to refine its automatic offerings, blending traditional Swiss watchmaking with reliable modern calibers. The Caliber 1108, based on the highly regarded ETA 2892-A2, provided a slim and robust foundation for many of the brand's versatile daily wearers. Watches from this era represent a transitional period in Omega's history, combining the elegant proportions of mid-century design with the mechanical dependability that defined the late twentieth century.
