Swiss watchmaker Omega has updated their iconic Constellation collection–without question one of the world’s most immediately recognizable families of contemporary luxury timepieces. Building upon the now-famous design cues pioneered in the 1982 Constellation Manhattan which created an aesthetic identity for new generations of Constellation timepieces, these 2009 models present subtle refinements and new dials, as well as the application of manufacture Omega self-winding movements employing the revolutionary Omega Co-Axial escapement.
The 2009 Omega Constellation watches are presented in five sizes. In addition to the traditionally feminine 24mm and 27mm, medium sized 31mm and 35mm variations are offered, as well as a series of 38mm models. All stainless steel, 18K yellow or pink gold, as well as combinations of steel and 18K gold in versions with or without diamonds continue the tradition of the modern Constellation collection to offer a great variety of choices for prospective owners. The same can be said for the dials, which are available in silver, champagne, mother of pearl, black, and chocolate brown. All the 2009 Constellation dials also show off a supernova guilloche pattern that radiates outward from the applied Constellation star at the 6 o’clock position. For the sake of optimum wearing comfort, the signature “Mono Rang” bracelet of the Omega Constellation has been given a very subtle re-design which is also reflected in the triple deployant security clasp. The finishing aesthetic touch can be found on the bezel; the signature Griffes–a necessity on the original models to properly secure the crystal–showcase a broader, more rounded profile.
The movements animating the 2009 Omega Constellation watch collection vary according to the size of the model. Both 24mm and 27mm watches employ the battery-powered 1376 quartz caliber, while the 35mm variant utilizes either the 1532 quartz caliber, or the self-winding 2500 caliber with the Omega Co-Axial Escapement. The 31mm and 38mm versions employ Omega’s fully in-house 8520/8521 and 8500/8501 calibers. Both of these latter movements feature a variety of exclusive technical and aesthetic features, including a full balance bridge, the friction-reducing Co-Axial Escapement, and a distinctive “Cotes de Geneve en Arabesques” decorative pattern on the rotor and bridges.
Water resistance of the Omega Constellation 2009 watches is 100 meters across the board. Each timepiece is fitted with a sapphire crystal, and features polished “Dauphine Plume” hands in rhodium-plated steel or 18K gold.
