Technical and visual features of Constellation Quartz watches
The
models of the Omega Constellation, which were initially produced exclusively with automatic movements, were not offered as
quartz models until 1975. The newer models of the Omega Constellation are still largely based on the design of the
“Manhattan” models introduced in 1982. The quartz watches also have an integrated bracelet and are equipped with four “claws” that make it look somewhat chunkier from side on. In addition to the engraving of an observatory and eight stars on the back, other distinctive stylistic features of Constellation Quartz watches are the star at the 6 o'clock position on the dial and the series name written in italics.
Throughout all the
updates to the
Constellation series, the hours and minutes hands have remained the same and are designed in the spirit of the 1960s as sword hands. As on the 1995 models, the Roman numerals are now engraved on the raised bezel instead of on the dial which was the case on earlier models.
In 1995
another update to the appearance was made. The flat sapphire crystal was replaced by a domed watch face, which also had a narrower diameter so that the bezel no longer touched the crystal face. As a result, the
claws lost their functionality but became a purely decorative element and a
trademark of the Constellation collection. The date window also saw a slight change in its shape: while it was originally rectangular, it was given a trapezoidal silhouette thereafter. The calibre also changed, and the quartz models were no longer based on the chronometer-certified Omega Calibre 1422 (a refined ETA Flatline II movement), but rather on a movement that was even better still – the
ETA Flatline III movement.
Nowadays, the
Omega Constellation Quartz is available for both men and women. The brand has recently started using its
in-house Calibre 1532, which has a battery life of 25 months. Visually speaking, virtually any combination is possible. Two-tone versions with yellow or red gold are available as well as models that have been embellished with diamonds.

40 years of tradition: the Omega Constellation Quartz
The
Omega Constellation series was
launched in 1952 when Omega won the Geneva Observatory Chronometer competition for the eighth time, setting a world record at the time. To this day, this fact is celebrated with an engraving of the observatory and eight stars that represent the number of titles won.
In 1982, Omega then introduced the
Constellation “Manhattan”, which changed the design of the series considerably. These models had thinner profiles and established the integrated bracelet and the four “claws” to hold the watch glass in place, with two at 3 o'clock and two at 9 o'clock. The "Manhattan" models were first released as
quartz models, before they were also offered with an automatic movement in 1985. In 1995, the Constellation was given its last major update, which since then has shaped the image of the Constellation collection as we know and appreciate it today.
Discover more Omega Constellation series
The
Omega Constellation Quartz still has a permanent place in Omega's catalogue, but there are plenty more versions of the Constellation. With over 60 years of Constellation history, some very special sub-series have been developed:
-
If the square case shapes that made Cartier so prominent appeal to you but you still want to remain loyal to Omega, the Constellation Quadra is made for you. Despite a width of just 24 mm, the series still stands out with its diamond embellished bezel.
-
Launched in 2003 with the intention of giving the series a sporty update, the Constellation Double Eagle is now a well-established style. The finish is one of the highest quality Omega offers at this price level. Newer models even feature a perpetual calendar complication.
-
Some of the most in demand models in the Constellation collection are the vintage models from the 60s with the so-called “Pie Pan” dials. The models are in full yellow gold and are a real eye-catcher with the 12-sided angular edge dial.
-
As the name suggests, the Constellation Day-Date is an extension of the date only model with the addition of a day display. It also boasts a co-axial chronometer with the famous Omega Calibre 8602.
-
While it lacks the characteristic claws of the series, the Omega Constellation Globemaster collection features a sapphire crystal back. As a classic dress watch, Omega has completely re-imagined the Constellation series with the Globemaster, creating an outstanding timepiece for office and evening wear.
