In 1967 the Constellation was the highlight of the Omega range. The chronometer is known for precision, excellent performance as well as an elegant design and perfect finishing.
The name Constellation is emphasised by a small applied star on the champagne-coloured dial. The medallion on the case back shows an observatory surrounded by eight stars representing Omega’s greatest achievements in chronometer tests such as the famous world records of 1933 and 1936 at Kew-Teddington.
