Omega Constellation Watches

The Omega Constellation is the dress watch for people who hate fragile dress watches. It marries pie‑pan heritage and Roman‑numeral bezels with antimagnetic <strong”>Co‑Axial Master Chronometer calibres, 50‑meter water‑resistance, and integrated bracelets that never need a strap change. In short: vintage soul, modern bones. Show more

A Brief History of the Constellation Line

1952–1970s: Pie‑Pan Origins
The first Constellation launched with a twelve‑faceted “pie‑pan” dial and chronometer grade movements. Collectors still hunt these today.

1982: Birth of the Constellation Manhattan
Designer Carol Didisheim added the famous bezel claws (Griffes) to clamp the crystal. Integrated bracelet, Roman numerals, and brushed facets complete the Manhattan’s signature look.

2015–Present: Master Chronometer Era
Omega coaxed the line into the future with antimagnetic calibres certified by METAS to resist 15 000 gauss. The latest Constellation Manhattan 41 mm ceramic‑bezel models exemplify the update.

Omega Constellation Movements & Technology

  • Co‑Axial Calibre 8800: 55‑hour reserve, free‑sprung balance, Si14 silicon hairspring.
  • Calibre 8900 / 8901: Twin‑barrel, 60‑hour reserve, time‑zone jumping hour hand.
  • Calibre 8922 Annual Calendar: Pointer month complication adjusted once a year.
  • Calibre 4061 Quartz: Less than ±10 seconds/year deviation and “end‑of‑life” second‑hand jump.

All mechanical Constellations carry Master Chronometer status—tested for accuracy in six positions, temperature shifts, and the dreaded magnetic field of a laptop speaker.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Omega Constellation a good investment?
In steel, expect 65–75 % retention. Sedna gold and limited pie‑pan releases fare better—often stable after initial two‑year dip.
Difference between Globemaster and Manhattan?
Globemaster revives the vintage pie‑pan dial and fluted bezel; Manhattan keeps the modern claw bezel and integrated bracelet.
How accurate is a Master Chronometer vs COSC?
METAS requires 0/+5 s per day after casing vs COSC’s –4/+6 s pre‑casing—tighter on magnetism and daily wear.
Does Omega still make pie‑pan dials?
Yes—only in the Globemaster series, both three‑hand and Annual Calendar versions.
Are omega constellation watches waterproof?
Modern Omega Constellation models are rated 50 meters (165 ft) water‑resistant—safe for hand‑washing, rain, and brief surface swimming, but not for diving. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in and have the gaskets pressure‑tested every two years to maintain that seal.
