Omega introduced the Constellation line in 1952 as its formal dress watch offering, and the model is still well and alive today. Omega knew how to create a timeless design with a simple yet elegant overall finish, but with a twist – in the form of a silver textured dial in this example. As with the rest of the Constellation series, this watch features a screw-down caseback with the Observatory logo and chronometer-grade Omega automatic caliber 564 movement with a quick date feature in the signature copper-colored finish. The quick-set date feature on this one is interesting in that it works by pulling the crown in and out, as opposed to the usual turning of the crown in a certain position. This example comes with the original accessories.
