One of Omega’s flagship models was the Constellation family, which appeared on dials in 1952. The detail that is so dear to the hearts of its fans is the medallion on the back of the case which features the Geneva observatory and eight stars, symbolizing the eight chronometry records won by Omega.

Since 1952, the Omega Constellation has been the flagship of Omega’s chronometer-class automatic watches. It is an evolution of the very popular Omega Centenary Chronometer Automatics, 2499 and 2500, launched a few years earlier to coincide with the celebration of Omega’s first 100 years of manufacturing high-end watches.

This is a rare reference, fully made in 14kt yellow gold in a large 35mm size, with a well-preserved pie-pan dial and case. The whole watch is amazingly preserved, with the dial that has nothing to envy to the beauty of the case.

The star of the show is the dial, featuring a golden outer edge and a honeycomb central part, which has deliciously aged to caramel tones.
