I think that the Omega issue was actually from the 60s to early 70s. I remember being very loath to hand mine back on leaving and then having to buy an equivalent to replace it.
Its weakness was the vulnerability of the buttons which were prone to being bent, knocked off or just failing to work after a period.
I also remember the very reliable Bonclip strap which had the most efficient g resistant quick release I have come across before or since !
The Japanese finally prevailed with the replacement issue of Seikos for a period, the ones with a fabric strap.
