# Omega Constellation Vintage Review by A.I. WatchMetrics

## Watch Summary
The Omega Constellation Vintage is a timeless dress watch from the mid-1960s, characterized by its distinctive pie-pan dial with applied indices, dauphine hands, and the signature constellation medallion at 6 o'clock, targeting vintage enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate observatory-certified precision and subtle 35mm elegance; it's powered by the in-house Caliber 565 automatic movement offering a reliable 48-hour power reserve.

## Overall Watch Rating: 7.1/10.0

**Movement Metric (9.4/10.0)** - The Caliber 565 delivers chronometer-grade performance with a bumper rotor and solid finishing that holds up well against vintage icons like the ETA 2824 equivalents.
**Dials & Design Metric (9.3/10.0)** - Its pie-pan dial, applied markers, and balanced proportions create an enduring vintage charm comparable to the best Patek Philippe Calatravas of the era.
**Brand Metric (8.7/10.0)** - Omega's storied luxury status and global prestige place it firmly alongside Rolex in the pantheon of reliable high-craft watchmakers.
**History & Innovation Metric (8.4/10.0)** - Decades of chronometer dominance and the Constellation's observatory heritage give it substantial historical weight akin to early Grand Seiko milestones.
**Material Metric (7.5/10.0)** - Stainless steel construction with hesalite crystal and period-appropriate finishing offers solid durability, though it trails modern sapphire-equipped Tudors.
**Versatility Metric (7.2/10.0)** - Suitable for formal and casual settings with its slim profile, it edges out bulkier sports watches like the Datejust for everyday dress versatility.
**Rarity Metric (6.8/10.0)** - At typical secondary prices around $3,500, its vintage scarcity boosts appeal over more common modern Seikos but not to limited-edition levels.
**Complications Metric (3.9/10.0)** - The simple date window provides basic utility, falling short of the multifaceted calendars in higher-end Omegas.
**Functions Metric (2.5/10.0)** - Core timekeeping with date suffices for essentials but lacks the multi-function breadth of contemporary GMTs or divers.

## Total Performance Score (TPS): 4.4

## WM Collector Grade: A+

## Performance Insights: Exceptional strengths in movement reliability and dial aesthetics are tempered by basic functions and complications, delivering outstanding value well below its $12,000 implied price.

## TPS Interpretation: Exceptional Value: This vintage gem vastly overdelivers on heritage craftsmanship and design relative to its accessible price point.
