OMEGA is an avid supporter of Flying Eye Hospital projects—including a first-of-its-kind training project held in Doha, Qatar, for women in eye care from conflict-affected areas, as well as a project in Zambia in 2023 and a project in Bangladesh in 2024. Along with providing vital funding for the Orbis Flying Eye Hospital, OMEGA has also supported Orbis’s work through the provision of teddy bears for young patients, as well as through global awareness campaigns featuring brand ambassadors such as Cindy Crawford and Daniel Craig.
OMEGA
OMEGA has been a proud supporter of Orbis since 2011, when it became a Global Corporate Partner. Their generous support bolsters our work to train eye care teams in areas with the greatest need so they can provide quality care in their communities.
In 2022, we proudly renewed our partnership with OMEGA which invested $2.5M to improve eye care in communities around the world.
Raynald Aeschlimann President and CEO of OMEGA said: "It’s an honor to extend our partnership with this life-changing organization. For more than a decade, OMEGA has been witnessing the incredible work of Orbis, who embrace our own values of innovation, pioneering spirit, and meaningful change. We look forward to continuing our support of this vital mission.”
An OMEGA MoonSwatch Moonshine Gold suitcase auctioned to support our work.
In 2024, OMEGA raised more than US$600,000 to help Orbis improve access to eye care around the world by donating 100% of the proceeds from a Sotheby’s online auction of 11 MoonSwatch Moonshine Gold suitcases. The auction was the first time these cases, each containing 11 OMEGA x Swatch “Mission to Moonshine Gold” watches were offered as one set. The money raised will continue to support our mission to build strong and sustainable eye care systems globally.
We want to give an enormous thank you to OMEGA for their continued support. For more than a decade and a half, OMEGA has helped us train thousands of eye care professionals, and in turn improved access to quality eye care around the world.
