The Omega Time Computer 1 (TC1) was released in 1972 and became available in Europe that year, making it the first LED watch sold in Europe. In the United States, it was marketed under the name "Omega Digital" and reached the market by late 1973.

Although Omega announced a new digital model (with date functionality) for a late 1974 release in the U.S., the original TC1 had already appeared in the American market the prior year, sold as a premium LED timepiece during the early digital watch boom.

Telly Savalas wore the Omega Time Computer 1 (TC1) in the TV series Kojak. It was a gold-plated model with a red LED display, released in 1974.
