The Art of Omega Watch Design

The art of designing one of the most recognizable watches
in the world is far from a quick and painless process.
There are many steps that go into producing the intricate
and precise detail that is found in the Omega watch
designs.  And with a multitude of collections and models,
the art of an Omega design begins at the drawing table.

The first step to creating an Omega watch is to draw out
the concept and design.  The design is created by the
designers for Omega, who present their ideas to the board
of directors.  After long discussions and meetings, the
designers and the board of directors come to an agreement
on how the new Omega watch design should be.

Once the decision has been finalized concerning the main
visual aspects, the designers go back to the drawing board.
 This is when they create the new Omega watch as a 3D model
on the computer.  This process is done collectively by the
designers and the engineers to avoid designing a proposal
that is not feasible from a technical point of view.

The next stage of the process is when the suppliers come
into the picture.  The prototyping phase is where the
decisions are made for what kinds of material to use and
what colors should be used for the dial and the hands.  As
soon as the first prototypes are produced, they are then
submitted to the board of directors and the markets for
approval of the final decision.

The first prototype that is produced for the Omega watch
design is created by a special printer.  The printer gives
the watch the first real touch of what the new watch could
possibly look like as a finished product.  It is during the
casting phase that the rest of the aesthetics are
finalized.  Everything from the colors to materials to the
overall design has to be complete.

The last phase to designing the new Omega watch is passing
the test.  The overall design and movements get tested
several times to make sure everything will be congruent
with each other.  It is essential that the design,
movements and materials are all feasible and completed on
the drawing board before the watch begins actual
development.  As soon as it passes all of the tests,
production can begin.

As you can see, there is a great amount of detail that goes
into creating a new Omega watch design.  From drawing up
the beginning ideas to passing the final tests, the overall
process is time consuming to help produce the intricate
designs you find in Omega watches.
