Omega Constellation Vintage: Precision, Prestige & Elegance
Launched in 1952, the Omega Constellation was created to embody the pinnacle of Omega's chronometric expertise. Each model features the emblematic star at six o'clock and the famous Observatory medallion of Genève engraved on the case back — guarantees of excellence and performance. The early models, often in 18-carat gold or steel, are distinguished by their faceted "Pie Pan" dial, a unique three-dimensional design that gives this watch an iconic place in the history of Swiss watchmaking.
