Swiss watch brand OMEGA will hold an exhibition titled "A Journey Through Time" at four stores nationwide, showcasing rare women's timepieces.

The exhibition will display various collections housed at the OMEGA Museum. Among them is the "Ladymatic," released in 1956. It was the world's smallest women's watch at the time, and its name is a combination of "lady" and "automatic." Other exhibits include secret watches from the 1950s, including models with diamond-covered dials and models featuring baguette-cut orange topaz.

The exhibition will run from October 29th to November 4th at the Hankyu Umeda Main Store, November 12th to 25th at the Shinjuku Takaya Store, December 2nd to 7th at the JR Nagoya Takashimaya Store, and December 17th to 23rd at the Osaka Takashimaya Store.

OMEGA was founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, in 1848. Since the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics, when it was the first time a single brand served as official timekeeper, Omega holds the record for the most times it has been selected as the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games. In 1969, Omega was officially part of NASA's equipment during the first manned moon landing, and it was also worn by Jacques Mayol when he set a new record for diving without oxygen. Omega has also long produced women's watches, including high jewelry watches. Many leading designers of each era, such as Andrew Grima and Gilbert Albert, who were purveyors to the British Royal Family, have worked on numerous Omega designs. Omega has won numerous awards, including the Grand Prix at the 1900 Paris World's Fair.
