In this guide we will explore the world of vintage Omega Constellation watches, what makes them so coveted and how best to spot the value of your vintage watch.
The Omega Constellation has, since it’s emergence in 1952, remained one of the most recognisable models in the world of watchmaking. With their iconic design and precision movements the Constellation was Omega’s first mass-produced model to attain the chronometer grade, showcasing the brand’s commitment to precision and accuracy from early; while many consider the Speedmaster to be Omega’s most notable model, the Constellation pre-dates the Speedmaster range by five years.
With chronometer grade mechanics, the Constellation quickly gained a reputation for its exceptional timekeeping capabilities. Omega’s dedication to quality was reflected not only in the watch’s construction but also it’s design; The pie-pan dial, a distinctive feature of early Constellations, mimicked the shape of an inverted pie pan, adding a touch of elegance to the watch’s face.
The Constellation got it’s name from the emblem detailing eight stars and an observatory imprinted on the back, which has remained a constant throughout all iterations of the model. These eight stars are not just cosmetic however, as they tie into Omega’s rich history of being at the forefront of precision timekeeping; the stars symbolise six first place awards earned between 1933 and 1952 and, more significantly, two chronometer records achieved in 1933 and 1936.
Over the years the Constellation has evolved, with each new iteration bringing innovative improvements to both functionality and design, but the earlier models still remain some of the most sought after vintage watches on the market.
