Two-color optional---Omega Constellation Co-Axial 38mm Watch

The steel model is possibly more typically a "Constellation," a minimum of in the current sense. The famous watch designer Gerald Genta developed a couple of earlier sixties era Omega constellation watches, although not the Constellation Manhattan - despite the fact that it had been clearly partly inspired by a few of Genta's popular designs in the seventies.


The Omega Constellation Manhattan introduced the iconic "case claws" and single piece tapering bracelet that continues to be part of the design today. Obviously another major part of the distinct Manhattan aesthetic may be the ring of Roman numeral hour markers around the bezel. As the steel Omega Constellation Co-Axial Day-Date has the feel of modern Constellation watches, the 18k Sedna gold model includes a dial inspired by an early on, pre-Manhattan era Omega Constellation model.



Everose was created being an exclusive alloy designed to prevent copper from wearing away and also the gold to get rid of its "rose" color. Sedna works exactly the same way and is made to ensure more permanence for individuals who purchase an 18k gold watch. Basically recall my details properly, this specific Constellation watch was the debut watch for Omega introducing its 18k Sedna gold metal.



The Sedna gold Constellation is gorgeous, and also the warm tones of rose gold are flattering towards the overall design. The dial is neat, helping this contemporary Constellation model interact with Omega's past. Detailing around elements like the date window frame and also the angularity of the face are very well-done.



The Omega Constellation Co-Axial 38mm Sedna gold watch is really a unique and fascinating watch that connects a variety of Omega historic points. It combines old and new inside a distinctively fashionable way. Connected to the case is matching, tapered brown alligator strap.



Omega created this Sedna gold Constellation watches like a limited edition of just 1,952 pieces in celebration of the year that Omega first showed the Constellation family in 1952. Inside the watch is definitely an in-house made Caliber 8501 automatic Co-Axial movement. This is comparable to the 8500 movement, however the 8501 adds an 18k gold bridge within the balance wheel as well as an 18k rose gold automatic rotor.



With 100 meters of water resistance along with a pretty thick case, the Constellation isn't your typical wimpy dress watch. Calling it an outfit watches is not really fair either, because it is more strictly a "dress/sport hybrid" watch. Legibility is fairly good, even though the look is much more subdued and retro, it's an awesome look.
