Sorry, but I think you'll find it's the other way round. Swatch own rather 
a lot 
  of premium labels, e.g. Omega, Tissot, Longines, Blancpain, Breguet, 
Rado.

I am afraid that your Omega is in effect a Swatch! Not that it is any the 
worse 
watch for that.

If you don't believe me:

look under Mr.Swatch, aka Nicolas Hayek.
