Twenty-three year-old Louis Brandt established his company in La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland . His two sons, Louis-Paul and Cesar took over the company after he died. They expanded operations and closely monitored the production process, and went on to produce excellent models of timepieces. The tradition continues until today. Modern versions are worn by real life celebrities and larger-than-life fictional characters including James Bond. Older versions, those from the 80's and earlier, have evolved into classics that can command a steep price. A vintage Omega watch from the 1950s can cost over US$5,000.
If you own a timepiece from the Brandt company but you are not sure if it qualifies as a classic, you can seek help from their official website. They have an information database that incorporates data on classic models. First, you will need to find the serial number of your timepiece. This can be found on the outside of the back plate or on the back of the lug near the seven o'clock position. If you don't see a serial number in these places, you can afford a little smile. Older models usually have them inside. You will want to go to a jeweler to open it up. The number is often stamped on either the movement or the inside of the back cover plate. All serial numbers of this brand are 8 digits long, so be sure this is what you get.
Once you have this, log on the company's official website, click on the "Customer Service" tab, explore the page and discover if what you have is a vintage Omega watch.
