A fascinating piece of late-1970s luxury watchmaking, this Omega Constellation Automatic combines vintage charm with a unique, geometrically striking cushion case design. Produced in 1978, it features a captivating gold-toned dial with a radiant sunburst finish that plays beautifully with the light, making it a highly collectible piece for enthusiasts of classic Swiss horology.
Powered by the highly advanced Caliber 1010 automatic movement, the watch showcases the distinctive, forward-thinking design language of Omega’s mechanical era—functional, elegant, and full of character. The monochromatic gold-toned dial contrasts beautifully with the applied black and gold baton indices, while the high-beat 28,800 BPH frequency ensures a remarkably smooth sweep of the central seconds hand. Complete with a hacking function, a convenient quick-set date window, and the iconic Observatory medallion on the case back, this seamlessly integrated timepiece stands as a true statement of vintage luxury.
