When Omega launched the Constellation in 1952, it was more than just a new watch. Born from the maison’s record-breaking performance at the Geneva Observatory trials, the Constellation became a benchmark for accuracy elevated to artistry.
Its name—drawn from the stars—and the eight-star medallion on its caseback honour those achievements: the stars mark Omega’s chronometric victories, while the observatory dome reflects the brand’s devotion to scientific precision.
From its earliest days, the Constellation was Omega’s flagship chronometer—a watch that fused technical mastery with elegance. Seventy years on, it still shines just as brightly.
Now, Omega continues the story with new 25mm and 28mm Constellation models: eight polished steel references that bring clarity, confidence, and contemporary energy to women’s watchmaking. Crafted entirely in stainless steel, these new additions reflect Omega’s unwavering commitment to innovation and design.
Each timepiece features a fully polished case and bracelet, its mirror-like surface catching light with every movement. Even the signature claws have been subtly refined with sleeker bevels, aligning perfectly with the polished case—a quiet detail that underscores Omega’s eye for precision beyond mechanics. From the sculpted mono-rang links to the interplay of shine and shadow, the design language is unmistakably Constellation. And, as ever, each model bears the observatory medallion: a nod to where it all began—under the stars.
The 25mm references explore two facets of the night sky: one with a deep blue Aventurine glass dial that glimmers like constellations in motion, and another with a silvery sun-brushed finish accented by 18K Sedna™ Gold hands and indexes— balancing the coolness of steel with the warmth of gold.
For those drawn to richer tones, the 28mm models dial up the drama with lacquered burgundy, peacock blue, varnished black, and silvery galvanic finishes. Each dial is paired with skeletonised white gold hands, refined to perfection and anchored by the Constellation’s emblematic star. Collectors can choose between polished bezels engraved with Roman numerals or diamond-set bezels for a touch of brilliance. Every model is completed with the signature mono-rang bracelet—fully polished, fluid, and fitted with a butterfly clasp offering a 2mm comfort adjustment.
Inside, the Omega Calibre 4061 quartz movement ensures steadfast accuracy, while a domed sapphire crystal with double-sided anti-reflective treatment and 30-metre water resistance makes each watch as reliable as it is radiant.
Since its debut, the Constellation has represented more than precision—it has embodied poise, femininity, and light. With these new 25mm and 28mm models, Omega proves that legacy doesn’t live in the past—it shines forward. Every reflection tells a story. Every surface, a constellation of its own.
