The Constellation's architecture has been shaped around those claws since 1982, when the integrated case-and-bracelet design established the collection's identity as something distinct from a dress watch and distinct from a sports watch — a category it has quietly occupied on its own terms ever since. This reference takes that form in solid 18K yellow gold throughout, from the case to the mono-rang bracelet, whose single-row links were engineered to flow directly from the lugs without a visual break. At 39mm with a lug-to-lug of 41mm, it wears closer to the wrist than that diameter suggests, and 231 grams is a weight you feel without it becoming a burden — the density is part of what solid gold reads like over the course of a day. The Roman numerals on the bezel and the silk-embossed opaline dial give it two distinct registers of texture, one harder and architectural, one quietly restrained, which only resolve together in good light. The movement is METAS-certified to resist magnetic fields of 15,000 gauss and carries a 55-hour power reserve, with an 18K yellow gold rotor and balance bridge visible through the caseback. Co-Axial escapements are known for requiring less frequent servicing than lever-based alternatives, which matters more in a watch this considered than a depth rating ever would.

Learn more about Omega

Louis Brandt began assembling pocket watches in La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1848. His sons moved production to Biel in 1880 and, in 1894, released a calibre whose parts were fully interchangeable and which could be serviced by any watchmaker with standard tools. They named it Omega. The movement was successful enough that the company took its name.

Omega's history is bound up with measurement in public. It became official timekeeper of the Olympic Games in 1932 and has held the role for most Games since, which drove genuine engineering: photo-finish cameras, touchpads in swimming pools, and the timing systems that made hundredths of a second meaningful.

NASA qualified the Speedmaster for manned spaceflight in 1965 after testing chronographs from several manufacturers to destruction, and it was on Buzz Aldrin's wrist on the lunar surface in 1969. The watch has never been substantially redesigned.

The Seamaster line dates to 1948 and covers everything from dress watches to saturation diving instruments. Omega's technical position strengthened considerably after 1999 with the adoption of George Daniels' co-axial escapement, the first genuinely new escapement to reach series production in two centuries, and more recently through Master Chronometer certification testing resistance to magnetic fields at 15,000 gauss.

The company has been part of the Swatch Group since its formation.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch

Can I swim with it?

Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.

Will the glass scratch?

Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.

Does it need a battery?

No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.

How long does it run for when it's not worn?

About 55 hours fully wound — enough to survive a night off the wrist, but not a full weekend.

What size strap does it take?

24.2mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.

Will it fit my wrist?

Lug-to-lug is 41mm, which suits wrists from roughly 15cm (6 inches) upward.

Lug-to-lug decides fit more than case diameter does.

Is it a men's or women's watch?

Listed as men's, though at 39mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
