Named after the eight stars emblazoned on its crest, the Constellation was launched by OMEGA in 1952. Because of its high-quality construction and unfaltering precision, the Constellation quickly became known as “the Swiss watch”. This substantial Omega Constellation boasts an impressive yellow-gold bracelet adorned with a rare and distinctive bark finishing decoration. Particularly noteworthy is the dial’s transformation, evolving from its original black color to the current captivating red hue, enriched with darker and lighter shades. This remarkable alteration, possibly influenced by exposure to sunlight or other natural elements, contributes to the dial’s distinctive appearance, creating an eye-catching visual effect that elevates the watch’s charm. Preserved in exceptional condition, this timepiece stands as a one-of-a-kind example, distinguished by its unique characteristics. Its alluring features and distinct hints make it a perfect addition to any collector’s ensemble, offering a truly exceptional and captivating presence on the wrist.
