The Omega Constellation Vintage Watches

The Omega Constellation vintage watches is most interesting between 1952 and 1970. The elegant shaped cases, fancy lugs, 10-sided crowns, beautiful copper-colored movements and rich dials of those early vintage Omega Constellation watches were replaced by clunky shaped 1970s models. There are some beautiful ‘iconic’ models in there such as the rectangular Constellation Marine Stardust with a dial made of aventurine quartz. But in general you could say that they don’t breathe the same class as those earlier models. More Omega Constellation replica watches.

Dozens of different models, case shapes and so on. It wasn’t until 1982 where the former flagship of the brand was reinvented. In that year, the Omega Constellation ‘Manhattan’ was introduced. This new design with its four claws that pressed on the crystal, an integrated bracelet and chronometer movement (also for the quartz models, which have a different standard for their chronometer certification of course) was designed by Carol Didisheim and is still in the collection.

Although the design was updated during the years, the initial 1982 design is still clearly being followed. The current Omega Constellation family is not considered to be their flagship anymore, it is a very popular watch in certain countries (e.g. China and India). Recently Omega even reintroduced the pie-pan dial to a Constellation limited edition.
