Omega Constellation Master Chronometer

For its initial three decades the “Omega Constellation” was marketed as an elegant dress watch, until a design change in the 1980’s added an integrated bracelet and bezel “claws” that have become a signature part of this collection. Since then the appeal of these watches has grown substantially and now Omega is providing new colors and two-tone options, for those in search of more choice.The 41mm case is made of stainless-steel with brushed surfaces and polished accents. Mounted to the case is either a polished blue, black, or brown ceramic bezel with Roman numerals in white enamel or Omega Ceragold. These bezels feature “claws” in steel or gold, which make those versions two-tone with either 18k yellow gold or Sedna gold. On the flip-side we encounter a sapphire exhibition case back that allows a view into the inner workings of the mechanical movement. It showcases several jewels, while also decorated with Geneva waves in arabesque and blackened screws.It comes equipped with a screw-in setting crown in steel or gold, engraved with the Omega logo. All topped by a domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on both sides. Water resistance on this watch can reach up to 50 meters (167 feet).In common this new collection exhibits time with blue CVD applied markers (white dial), gold applied markers (green & grey dial), or Sedna gold (burgundy dial) Sedna™ index markers, plus a matching alloy OMEGA logo, the iconic Constellation star, and central hour/minute hands that have been fitted with a luminescent filling, for enhanced legibility. There is also a date window at the 6 o’clock position with a background that matches the dial to better blend in.In particular these watches have varied colored dials and combinations of steel or gold elements, which imbue each of them with their own unique aesthetics. The various color options include: a white ceramic dial, sunray dark gradient green, sunray gradient burgundy, or a patterned rhodium-grey dial.
