Omega Constellation Perpetual Calendar — Swiss elegance with perpetual calendar
This vintage Omega Constellation, reference 396.1202, produced in 1999, embodies one of the finest expressions of the celebrated Constellation line. Heir to the "Manhattan" design launched in 1982, it stands out for its iconic lines and a highly sought-after complication: the perpetual calendar. A piece at the crossroads of dressed elegance and technical prowess, signed by the prestigious Biel manufacture.
The most recognizable feature of this watch lies in its four distinctive claws, positioned at 3 and 9 o'clock — the definitive signature of the Constellation "Manhattan". The stainless steel bezel engraved with Roman numerals frames a superb white dial with a delicate "linen" motif at its center. The applied baton hour markers, dauphine hands and the date window at 3 o'clock create a composition of great refinement, crowned by the Constellation star at 6 o'clock.
The perpetual calendar (Perpetual Calendar) complication is the technical heart of this piece: the Omega quartz caliber 1680 movement automatically manages the varying lengths of months and leap years, with no manual adjustment required before 2100. A rare quartz timepiece that combines absolute precision with everyday ease of use — the date is always correct, without intervention.
The stainless steel case measuring 35.5 mm, fitted on its original integrated steel bracelet, offers a silhouette that is both sporty and dressy, ideal for both men's and women's wrists. With its excellent-condition sapphire crystal Crystal, this vintage Omega watch is a versatile prestige piece, to be worn every day as well as on special occasions. Selected, authenticated and serviced by Atelier Victor. Fast and secure international shipping.
