This compact and beautiful Omega Constellation automatic chronometer has everything you want in a dress watch: 34 mm yellow gold plated case, center seconds, a very beautiful white dial and rare slim baton hour markers with tritium inlay. First released in 1952, the Constellation was Omega's answer to the Rolex Datejust.
Well-proportioned, simple, and classic, this Constellation features a snap-on case back, Omega automatic bumper chronometer Caliber 354 and great slightly down turned lugs in nearly unworn condition.
It features a stunning crosshair pie pan dial which developed a beautiful and even leopard patina and is complimented by the 18k applied hour markers, omega Logo and Constellation star.
