OMEGA CONSTELLATION 2887-2
Production Years:
The Omega Constellation 2887 2 dates from the late 1950s, representing an era when Omega was establishing the Constellation as one of its flagship chronometer collections. Today, the reference is appreciated for both its historical significance and its enduring design.
Defining Features
There is an unmistakable confidence in the way the 2887 2 has been designed. Nothing feels excessive, yet every component contributes to a watch that remains instantly recognisable more than half a century after it first appeared.
Its 35mm case combines stainless steel with yellow gold, creating a balanced contrast that feels equally appropriate today as it did during the late 1950s. The white dial keeps the presentation open and uncluttered, allowing the applied baton hour markers and polished hands to deliver excellent legibility while preserving the watch's refined character.
Mechanical performance comes from an automatic movement, reflecting Omega's commitment to producing chronometer grade watches during one of the brand's most celebrated periods. Completing the watch is a leather strap secured by a traditional pin buckle, reinforcing the classic proportions and vintage personality of the reference.
About Omega Constellation 2887-2
The late 1950s marked an important chapter for Omega. Rather than competing solely through styling, the company invested heavily in precision, producing watches that demonstrated the achievements it had earned in international chronometer trials.
The Constellation became the collection chosen to showcase that ambition. References such as the 2887 2 were created to represent accuracy and refinement in equal measure, making them more than elegant dress watches. They were symbols of Omega's technical confidence during one of the strongest periods in its manufacturing history.
Decades later, that heritage continues to define the reference. Collectors are drawn not only to its appearance but also to the role it played in establishing the Constellation as one of the industry's most respected chronometer families.

Why Choose BQ Watches for Omega Constellation 2887-2
An early Constellation is more than its reference number. Small differences developed over decades of ownership from ageing on the dial to servicing history and replacement parts can significantly influence both authenticity and market desirability. Understanding those details requires experience with vintage Omega watches rather than relying on specifications alone.
At BQ Watches, we combine that knowledge with a transparent approach, giving customers the confidence to buy a pre owned Omega constellation that has been carefully assessed and accurately represented. If you decide to sell or exchange, our specialists provide guidance that reflects collector demand, originality, and current market conditions instead of generic pricing estimates.
Whether you are adding a rare reference to your collection or require a professional valuation for insurance, estate planning, or personal records, our team offers informed advice built on years of experience within the pre owned luxury watch market.
