First introduced in 1952, the Constellation was OMEGA’s ultimate elegant dress watch. At a glance, this example appears to be a vintage gold OMEGA wristwatch, but it’s actually a gold-plated version, sharing all of the same gorgeous characteristics of the full gold version but with a slightly lower price tag. Well-proportioned, simple, and classic, this Constellation features a screw-down case back with the signature Constellation logo, OMEGA automatic caliber 561 movement in the signature copper-colored finish, and the sought-after pie-pan dial.
