Omega Constellation Manhattan — The charm of a gray dial
This vintage Omega Constellation, reference 1512.40, produced in 1998, immediately captivates with the deep hue of its gray dial. A masterpiece of the Constellation line, it carries forward the "Manhattan" aesthetic launched in 1982 — that rare balance between sporty appeal and dress elegance that has ensured the collection's lasting success. A characterful variant, more mysterious than the lighter versions.
The slate gray dial, adorned with a delicate honeycomb pattern, takes on subtle bluish reflections depending on the light — a play of nuances that enlivens the piece and gives it all its personality. It is framed by the stainless steel bezel engraved with Roman numerals, a signature of the Constellation. The applied baton markers, dauphine hands, the date window at 3 o'clock and the Constellation star compose an ensemble of great finesse, where the deep gray beautifully enhances the polished elements.
The absolute signature of this watch lies in its four characteristic claws at 3 and 9 o'clock, which have become the emblem of the Constellation. The stainless steel case measuring 33.3 mm, powered by a precise and reliable Omega quartz movement, is fitted on its original integrated stainless steel bracelet. This monobloc construction, where the bracelet naturally extends the case, combines comfort, elegance and robustness.
This piece comes with its Omega card and its original tag bearing the serial number — appreciated provenance elements. With its versatile size and characterful dial, this vintage Omega watch suits both men's and women's wrists. A selected Swiss prestige piece, authenticated and serviced by Atelier Victor. Fast and secure international shipping.
