After 50 Years, Omega’s “Original” Constellation Returns

After nearly 50 years out of production, Omega has—this year—revived the "most celebrated" model from the early Constellation line (originally discontinued in 1977): the Omega Constellation Observatory. The Omega Constellation Observatory brings together the aesthetic of the vintage Constellation models produced by Omega between 1952 and 1977—characterized by their "pie-pan" dials and "kite" hour markers—with Omega’s state-of-the-art Master Chronometer certification process, all encapsulated within this brand-new Constellation timepiece.

The Omega Constellation Observatory watch, measuring 39.4 mm, is available in steel, 18K yellow gold, 18K rose gold, 18K white gold, and platinum cases. The "kite hour markers" on the Omega Constellation Observatory models are more slender than those found on any vintage Constellation timepiece to date, extending deep into the facets of the "Pie-Pan" dial. What remains unchanged, however, is that these new kite markers—much like their predecessors—feature rich faceting and a fully polished finish. The linear *guilloché* pattern encircling the Pie-Pan facets passes beneath the kite hour markers. The entire dial is characterized by its multi-layered structure and numerous reflective surfaces; consequently, when light strikes the dial, it sparkles brilliantly. It is worth noting that the *guilloché* pattern on the steel-cased models is created via stamping, whereas the *guilloché* on the gold and platinum models is hand-engraved using a manual lathe. Repwatcheaprice - Luxury replica Omega Constellation price, Cheap Watches For Men And Women.

The Omega Constellation Observatory is a two-hand watch—lacking a seconds hand—which distinguishes it from vintage Constellation models. The omission of the central seconds hand was a deliberate design choice by Omega. Moreover, historically speaking, classic dress watches often regarded the date window—and even the seconds hand—as superfluous elements that could be dispensed with. Upon closer inspection, one can observe that both the hour and minute hands feature a three-faceted profile, rendering them sharp and three-dimensional. Beneath the applied Omega logo, the word "Observatory" is inscribed, while the Constellation series' signature "five-pointed star" remains present, as always.

The Omega Calibre 8914 is a self-winding movement (gold models feature the Calibre 8915, distinguished by a gold oscillating weight and gold bridges). As a member of Omega's 8900-series family, its performance specifications are already well-known: it operates at a frequency of 25,200 vibrations per hour, offers a power reserve of 60 hours, utilizes a silicon balance spring, and features a free-sprung balance with a fine-tuning weight system. It holds Master Chronometer certification, boasts magnetic resistance up to 15,000 gauss, and maintains a daily rate accuracy of 0/+5 seconds https://www.repwatcheaprice.is/product-category/replica-omega-price/.
