OMEGA CONSTELLATION CO-AXIAL 2500 CHRONOMETER

The story of the Omega Constellation is a tale of precision, elegance, and constant evolution spanning over seven decades. Originally conceived to celebrate Omega’s timing records, the Constellation line quickly became the flagship of the manufacture, representing the pinnacle of technical excellence and refined design. Throughout its generations, the Constellation has managed to adapt to changes in style and technology without ever losing its essence: being the watch of achievements and serene beauty.

Origins: The Centenary and the Birth of a Legend

The seed of the Omega Constellation was planted in 1948 when the brand celebrated its centenary with a limited edition watch called the Centenary. This model, designed by René Banwart, featured an automatic movement with a 360-degree rotor and a case back medallion displaying an astronomical observatory. The success of the Centenary was such that Omega decided to make it a permanent collection.

Thus, in 1952, the Constellation was officially born. Its name referred to the eight stars adorning the case back medallion, symbolizing Omega’s six first prizes and two world precision records achieved at the Kew-Teddington observatories between 1933 and 1936. Since its debut, the Constellation was conceived as a certified chronometer, a guarantee of the highest accuracy.
