Story
During the mid-20th century, the Geneva Observatory trials were the ultimate battleground for watchmakers, and the Constellation was born to celebrate Omega's total dominance in these precision competitions.
Maker / Origin
Omega was founded in 1848 and rose to become the official timekeeper of the Olympics and the first watch on the moon.
Condition & Value
The dial exhibits a light, even 'stardust' patina which collectors often prefer as it proves the dial is original and hasn't been refinished. The 'Pie Pan' dial is the most desirable configuration for vintage Constellations.
