This is what I found about SADA:
Omega, A Journey Through Time, Page 48:
"The inexpensive brand Patria was registered by the Brandt brothers on the 10th of October 1892. It was initially distributed in France, then extensively in North America and Russia. In May 1914, the brand was transferred to SADA (Societe Anonyme Departement Achats), an organisation originally created by Omega in 1906 to supply inexpensive models to retailers who were not part of its official distribution network. These inexpensive brands included: Champ, Civic, Critic, Eagle, Ethic, Himalaya, Meric, and Valdez."

Beautiful watch. But we must remember that war cannot be beautiful, there is neither honor nor ethics. By the way, I found one nice site https://studydriver.com/ethics/ , where you can read many good articles about it. Ethics is based on a set of ethical values ??and moral values. Ethical value denotes something amount of importance, with the aim of getting at least an attempt to describe the value of different steps. It may be defined as treating actions themselves as abstract objects, putting a value on them.
