Omega Constellation

The Constellation was once Omega’s flagship model. A contemporary to the original Speedmaster, Seamaster SM300, Railmaster and DeVille lines, the Connie was a popular choice during its day and age, known for their award-winning precision movements and high-concept design execution. Over the years Omega produced many different Constellation models, with a wide variation in case shape and dial design. This particular example is one of our favorites. Dating to circa 1960s this piece features a lovely yellow gold case with an acrylic crystal, an embedded crown, a polished bezel, and a beautiful, brushed silver dial with applied 'baton' indices, logo at 12 o'clock, and a framed date at 3 o'clock. This piece flaunts the 'pie-pan' layout that Omega was known for in this era. While all this is quite cool, arguably, the standout feature of this piece is its matching yellow gold mesh bracelet with a folding clasp. Although perhaps less sought-after than the Speedmaster or the Seamaster, the Constellation has an undeniable savior faire that makes it a clear choice for lovers of mid-century watch design, and when combined with Omega pedigree and performance, how can you go wrong?
