Having watched several modern documentaries about the ISS and space, I can confidently state that Omega still rules in space.
Both Russian and American astronauts use two types of wrist watches and both are Omega. The first is Omega Speedmaster Skywalker x-33 and the second - Omega Speedmaster Profession (the moonwatch). The Skywalker is worn at the station, the second one - when entering space. It is very pleasant that these watches are still tool-watches and have not lost their professional purpose, as has happened with some “professional” lines of some brands. Seeing how they work in space and what they have to face there, you realize the advantage of hesalite glass vs sapphire.
