Watch Description
The Constellation is an exclusive line of Omega watches with a dressy design and a high-precision movement.
Today, the collection is designed more like a dress watch.
It is a classic vintage Omega watch, along with the Seamaster, and is particularly famous for its case shape, known as the C-line case.
It was the case design that helped extend the reputation of watch designer Gerald Genta, who designed Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak and Patek Philippe’s Nautilus.
His philosophy: “It’s not a good idea to get caught up in the sleeve of a shirt” is reflected in the watches he designed.
The dial has a silver dial with a silk eye. The dial is a silver dial with a silk eye, with a textile-like design that looks like fine threads woven together.
The hands and indices are tightened with black bars, giving the watch an overall look of unity.
The crown and the plastic wind shield are marked with the Ω mark, a symbol of genuine parts.
One of the distinctive features of the Constellation is the engraving of the observatory on the back of the watch, which is a symbol of high precision.
The movement is a self-winding Cal. 564, a typical chronometer-standard OMEGA machine of the 1960s.
