These iconic elements include polished claws, half-moon facets and a sumptuously diamond-paved bezel.Omega Constellation, the height of sophisticationThe Constellation collection is one of Manufacture Omega’s most emblematic lines, and has been since 1952. Embodying the pinnacle of sophistication and precision, it pays tribute to the many precision records achieved by the Maison throughout the 20th century. It was in 1982 that the model was revisited with the characteristic elements we all know and still see today: the claws on each side of the case, the half-moon facets and the Constellation star located at six o’clock.These elements are inspired by the precise movement of the stars. And for this year 2024, this stellar theme continues with a new range of models featuring unique dials created from meteorite. And not just any meteorite! The dials are derived from the Muonionalusta meteorite, probably the oldest known meteorite on Earth, over 4.5 billion years old. Thanks to the natural patterns found in this ancient space material, each slice is unique. For OMEGA customers, this means that no two dials will ever be identical. The watch you choose for your wrist will reveal its own character!Presentation of the 29 mm modelThis 29 mm watch features an 18K yellow gold case and single-row bracelet.
