Catalogue Essay
Launched in 1952, the iconic Constellation collection is one of Omega’s longest-produced models and the brand’s first self-winding chronometer wristwatch. Still offered today, the flagship model has evolved with time and encompasses an array of designs and chronometer movements. Available in a variety of case metals, the watch was offered with three grades of finishing from standard to deluxe, and grand luxe. The name Constellation refers to the Geneva Observatory emblem with eight stars engraved on the case back. Each star representing a chronometer record Omega achieved between 1933 and 1952.
The present rarely-ever-seen white gold example is offered in excellent condition with a white gold integrated mesh bracelet, and early, rare pie-pan dial, which is exceptionally well-preserved. The watch is powered by the notable caliber 564, which was prominently used in Constellation models in the 1960s. A chronometer certified automatic movement it has 50 hour power reserve and is highly regarded for both its precision timing and craftsmanship.
This beautiful white gold example is the epitome of elegance and a highly wearable timepiece attesting to Omega’s continual pursuit of perfection.

Swiss | 1848Omega's rich history begins with its founder, Louis Brandt, who established the firm in 1848 in La Chaux de Fonds. In 1903, the company changed its name to Omega, becoming the only watch brand in history to have been named after one its own movements. A full-fledged manufacturer of highly accurate, affordable and reliable watches, its sterling reputation enabled them to be chosen as the first watch company to time the Olympic Games beginning in 1932. Its continued focus on precision and reliability ultimately led their Speedmaster chronograph wristwatch to be chosen by NASA in 1965 — the first watch worn on the moon.Key models sought-after by collectors include their first, oversized water-resistant chronograph — the reference 2077, early Speedmaster models such as the CK 2915 and 2998, military-issued versions of the Seamaster and oversized chronometer models such as those fitted with their prestigious caliber 30T2Rg.
