Omega Constellation Manhattan design

Constellation series was founded in 1952 and featured “pie-pan” dials. These pieces came in steel, yellow gold, and occasionally even platinum; often featured geometric hour markers and dauphine hands; and were held in high esteem for their superior timekeeping. These are the models that have gone on to inspire today’s Globemaster production line, but are designs that have more or less been under the radar since the late 1960s.

Today’s models are more commonly based upon the “Manhattan” design family released in 1982. These watches, while sharing the Constellation name and the signature observatory emblem on the caseback, were different than the pie-pan models of the past. 

They were first developed using quartz movements (Omega didn’t release a mechanical, automatic model until 1985), were relatively thin, had integrated bracelets and very different dial configurations, and, most notably, included four claws on the bezel to secure the crystal to the rest of the case. They were very much a product of the 1980s, but have nevertheless retained a strong place in the brand’s lineup in the decades since, with both men’s and ladies’ versions available.
