The history of this Omega Constellation
Omega unveiled the Constellation range in 1952 to celebrate its countless precision chronometry records. But it was in 1982 that the Manhattan design shook up the industry with a seminal technical innovation. The famous metal claws encircling the bezel were no mere decorative addition. Originally, they physically pressed the sapphire crystal and its gasket against the case to ensure that the watch was absolutely water-resistant. Over time, they have become an essential visual signature, and today they sublimate this reference 123.20.24.60.63.002 while perpetuating the myth of a timeless collection combining pure technology with architectural elegance.
Case, calibre and bracelet of this Constellation
This model unfurls a fluid silhouette with a 24 mm case that harmoniously combines stainless steel and 18-carat gold. The massive gold bezel anchored by its claws and engraved with Roman numerals frames a captivating Supernova dial. The brown surface of this dial is textured with waves radiating from the star at 6 o'clock, revealing deep olive and bronze reflections in the light. The time is read off on 12 brilliant-cut diamond hour markers delicately set in gold bezels. The entire timepiece is powered by the Omega calibre 1376, a quartz movement guaranteeing outstanding precision and a power reserve of around 48 months. Water-resistant to 100 metres, this watch is extended by an integrated bracelet composed of large brushed steel links articulated by fine polished gold bars, designed to fit a 16 cm wrist.
Why this Omega watch
The appeal of this declination lies in its chromatic boldness and jewellery refinement. The contrast between the two-tone metal and the changing brown dial gives this timepiece a strong, singular identity far removed from conventional standards. It represents a precious opportunity for watch lovers looking for a versatile character watch capable of accompanying an evening outfit with the same poise as a casual everyday look.
