Omega Constellation Co-Axial Master Chronometer 36 with Diamond Bezel

Valentine’s day is on the horizon, so let’s take a look at some possible options for that special someone. Omega added three new editions to their Constellation collection with vibrant colored dials and diamond studded bezels.The main portion of the 36mm case is made of stainless-steel with a brushed finish for all three of these new models.While on the flip-side is an exhibition caseback that allows a view into the inner workings of the mechanical movement. Mounted to the case is either a steel, gold, or Sedna gold bezel, all set with 38 diamonds (0.92ct). To decorate its timepieces and jewelry, Omega uses “Top Wesselton” white color diamonds with clarity ranging from pure to VVS (Very Very Small inclusions). Omega is also a certified member of the non-profit RJC (Responsible Jewelry Council), which assures the diamonds are obtained in an ethical and fair manner.It comes equipped with a setting-crown embossed with the Omega logo “Ω”, which also matches the alloy used on the bezel of each version. All topped by a domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on both sides. Water-resistance on these watches can reach up to 50 meters (167 feet).These dials are available in either a sun-brushed brown, blue, or burgundy dial; all with a PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) treatment, which produces a brilliant decorative and functional finish. This technique utilizes a titanium nitride that provides an extremely durable coating. Time is told with applied hour index markers set with diamonds (0.19ct). There are no other additional markings for minutes or seconds, besides following the central skeletonised hours and minutes hands, and solid central seconds hand.The Omega logo, Constellation star, and indexes are made in 18k white gold, yellow gold, or Sedna gold depending on the model. There is also a round date window at the 6 o’clock position.
