About the Omega Constellation Collection
Launched in 1952, the Constellation collection stands as one of Omega's oldest and most prestigious lines. Initially released as the brand's first mass-produced chronometer wristwatch, the collection quickly gained recognition for its exceptional precision and design. The Constellation's name and emblem, a Geneva Observatory surrounded by eight stars, pay homage to Omega's achievements in chronometry. These stars represent the eight chronometric awards Omega won between 1933 and 1952, underscoring the brand's relentless pursuit of precision. Today, the collection offers a diverse range of models, each embodying the brand's commitment to craftsmanship and innovation.
Design And Features
The Constellation series is renowned for its design elements, such as the distinctive "claws" and the half-moon facets on the case. As a collection of elegant dress watches, many Constellation watches feature diamonds or other gemstones on the bezel, dial, or case. Over the years, Omega has continually updated the Constellation collection, introducing new models and advanced movements. The range now includes over 500 models, catering to both men and women, with options in various materials and sizes.
The collection also offers a variety of strap and bracelet options, including the newly redesigned semi-integrated bracelet with its distinctive centre links and polished bevels. Despite its evolution, the Constellation remains a symbol of precision and luxury, embodying Omega's commitment to horological excellence.
Globemaster
The Omega Constellation Globemaster, reintroduced in 2015, was the first watch to boast the prestigious Master Chronometer certification. It reimagines the classic design elements of Omega's mid-20th-century Constellation watches while incorporating modern technology. This design is complemented by a fluted bezel, which, while reminiscent of Omega's heritage, brings a fresh sophistication to the watch's overall visual appeal and makes it a refined dress watch.
ABOUT THE MOVEMENT
Omega's calibre 2500 is a notable movement in the brand's history. Introduced in 1999, it was the first Omega movement to feature the Co-Axial escapement, developed by renowned watchmaker George Daniels. This technology significantly reduces friction in the movement, improving accuracy, and longevity. The calibre 2500 is based on the ETA 2892-A2, a well-respected automatic movement, but with Omega’s enhancements. It operates at 25,200vph, a slight adjustment from the standard 28,800 vph, optimising it for the Co-Axial escapement. Over the years, the movement underwent various improvements, resulting in different versions such as 2500A, 2500B, 2500C, and the most refined, 2500D. This movement has been used in several Omega collections, including the Constellation, Seamaster and De Ville, contributing to Omega’s reputation for precision and innovation.
