The exquisite duo of stainless steel and gold is a quintessential element of any wedding, festival or special occasion where one wishes to sparkle. Both materials are the ultimate embodiment of refinement and opulence and enjoy a high reputation in the production of watches. The steel and red gold watches featured here are part of the Omega Constellation collection, a watch family that is continuing the legacy, with the familiar star still at the six o’clock position, and the “Griffes”, or claws as more distinct and updated. Both the 35mm men’s watch and the 27mm women’s watch flaunt a steel and 18k red gold case and strap, 18k red gold bezel, with engraved Roman numerals, and a silver dial. Both editions are water resistant up to 100m. The major distinction is the quartz movement (Omega 1532 in the men’s watch and Omega 1376 in women’s), battery life (25 months and 48 months, respectively), and the date window in the men’s watch.
