[Description]

Constellation was born as Omega's luxury line, featuring a dressier design and highly accurate movements.

Currently, the collection has a design that is more like a dress watch.

Among vintage Omegas, this watch is one of the most classic watches, along with the Seamaster, and is famous for its case shape known as the C-line case.

This case design expanded the fame of watch designer Gerald Genta, who also designed Audemars Piguet's Royal Oak and Patek Philippe's Nautilus.

"Designs that get caught on shirt sleeves are not good." This philosophy is reflected in the watches he designs.

Equipped with a high-precision automatic movement, the Constellation is a special model that features an observatory engraved on the back, which is a symbol of high precision.

This watch is a double brand with MEISTER, a watch and jewelry store based in Zurich, Switzerland.

You can see the word MEISTER above Constellation above 6 o'clock on the dial.

The silver dial features a silk-like pattern with diagonal lines rather than vertical and horizontal lines, giving it a calm and striking design.

Since Zurich is in the German-speaking part of the country, the days of the week on the calendar are displayed in German.

The movement is an automatic Cal. 751. It is a chronometer-certified machine with a day and date function.

The vintage-like, raised dome-shaped crystal is an authentic part with the Omega mark.
