Since 1952, the Constellation wrist chronometers have stood at the very pinnacle of the Omega collection in terms of luxury and prestige. In astronomy, a constellation is a group of stars whose movement across the celestial sphere is consistent and predictable, reminiscent of the movement of a watch. In watchmaking at Omega, Constellation stands for craftsmanship and the highest level of perfection in a watch, for precision and top performance of the movement, and for elegant design and superior cases. The name Constellation is highlighted by a small applied gold star on the dial. The medallion on the case back depicts an observatory surrounded by eight stars, representing Omega’s greatest achievements in chronometer tests, such as the famous world records set in 1933 and 1936 at Kew-Teddington. Case: very good, slightly worn. Dial: very good. Movement: very good, in working condition, cleaning recommended.
