The Legacy of Omega Constellation Watches
The Omega Constellation was introduced in 1952, making it one of the oldest watches in this watchmaker’s catalog. It also holds the record for the first mass-produced chronometer by Omega.
Built on a legacy of precision engineering, the Constellation collection was created by Omega to celebrate the watchmaker’s success in the prestigious chronometer trials that were carried out in the late 19th century. Omega watches dominated these series of trials, earning six first-place awards and two chronometer records from trials carried out in separate observatories in Switzerland and France between 1933 and 1952.
As a symbol of the watchmaker’s technical expertise and ability to create stylish timepieces, Omega decided to create a new line of watches featuring the movement that won the highest point in these trials. The name Constellation was derived from the emblem printed on the caseback showing an observatory beneath eight stars. The stars symbolized the chronometer records and awards won by the movement.
In addition to being technically brilliant, the Omega Constellation also featured notable aesthetic features. This timepiece debuted the famous pie-pan dial design, a unique curved dial that mimics the appearance of an inverted pie pan. This aesthetic feature has been copied by several other watches since then.
In 1982, Omega also added distinct Griffes (or claws) into an Omega Constellation timepiece. This was the Constellation Manhattan collection. The claws, located at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions, resemble small grips. This unique feature has become a defining feature of most Constellation watches from 1982 to date.

How Much Does a Pre-Owned Omega Constellation Watch Cost

On average, a pre-owned Omega Constellation watch typically costs between $2,000 and $30,000. Vintage models are the most affordable, but you can find modern Constellations in stainless steel for less than $5,000.

Key Features of Omega Railmaster Watches
High-Quality Materials
Omega Constellation watches are produced in a wide range of high-quality materials, from stainless steel to solid gold. There are also two-tone models that use a combination of stainless steel and gold. The stainless steel Constellations are simpler and generally more affordable, while the gold variants have a luxurious appearance that reflects the prestigious identity of this collection.
Accurate and Reliable Movements
The OMEGA Constellation’s movement has always been the collection’s biggest selling point. The high precision and reliability of its movement inspired the creation of the collection in the first place. The watches in this collection are powered by either high-precision quartz movements or self-winding mechanical movements. The mechanical calibers are COSC-certified, offering unmatched accuracy and reliability. Omega Master Chronometers are also anti-magnetic and can withstand up to 15,000 gauss magnetic fields.
Iconic Griffes
The “Griffes” or “Claws” on the bezel of Omega Constellation watches is one of their most iconic features. The claws extend from the case to the bezel and serve the functional purpose of securing the gasket and sapphire crystal in place. It is also an aesthetic feature, as it gives the watches in this family a distinctive appearance that sets them apart from other watches.Beautiful and Legible Dials
Vintage Constellation watches (from the 1950s and 60s) featured a pie-pan design. Their central areas were raised while the sides sloped downwards, so they looked like upside-down pie pans. Many collectors, especially those who appreciated vintage watches, love timepieces fitted with this type of dial.
Omega stopped using these pie-pan dials in the 1960s, replacing them with traditional flat dials. While these dials are not as distinctive as pie-pan dials, modern Constellation dials are still elegant and legible. They come in various designs, colors, and sleek finishes to meet multiple preferences.
