OMEGA Observatory
THE CONSTELLATION OBSERVATORY COLLECTION
The Constellation Observatory marks a new era in precision legacy. Nine references in 39.4 mm, powered by two new calibres. It becomes the first two-hand collection tested by the Laboratoire de Précision, using an acoustic method that makes the seconds hand unnecessary in precision testing.
THE FIRST TWO-HAND MASTER CHRONOMETER
The Constellation collection was launched in 1952, its name drawn from the observatory emblem, which represents the precision records OMEGA set at chronometer trials between 1933 and 1952. It is the first two-hand watch in the world to achieve Master Chronometer certification. All four of OMEGA’s proprietary gold alloys appear within a single collection alongside O-MEGASTEEL, offering a choice of materials and finishing unlike anything in the collection’s history.
THE LABORATOIRE DE PRÉCISION
The Constellation Observatory is the first two-hand watch tested by the Laboratoire de Précision, an independent certification body certified by METAS and officially accredited by the Swiss Accreditation Service. Using Dual Metric Technology, the Laboratoire captures the acoustic signature of each movement across 25 days of continuous testing, measuring temperature, position, and atmospheric pressure throughout. METAS grants Master Chronometer certification based on the Laboratoire’s measurements.
Every design element in this collection has a direct ancestor in OMEGA’s history. The pie-pan dial, the dog-leg lugs, the kite-form indexes.
KEY FEATURES
01
HAND-GUILLOCHÉ DIAL
The Constellation Observatory precious metal editions carry a hand-guilloché finish that reflects light across the full surface of the dial. The dodecagonal pie-pan dial is one of the most recognised designs in the Constellation collection.
For the first time, 18K Moonshine™ Gold appears in an OMEGA movement.
BUILT FOR PRECISION
Two new Master Chronometer calibres power the collection featuring an applied Constellation Observatory medallion, first introduced in 1952, on a skeletonised rotor-base. The Calibre 8915, built for the precious metal editions, features a rotor and balance bridge in either 18K Moonshine™ or Sedna™ Gold. The Calibre 8914 powers the O-MEGASTEEL references with a rhodium-plated finish. Both are OMEGA Master Co-Axial movements built to the highest precision standard.
THE PRESENTATION BOX
Each precious metal timepiece in the OMEGA Constellation Observatory Collection is delivered in a dedicated wooden presentation box featuring the Constellation Observatory emblem in marquetry.
MAKE YOUR CHOICE
For the first time, all four of OMEGA’s proprietary gold alloys appear within a single collection.
