Buffy Acacia OMEGA has released 20 new models in its Constellation catalogue in 25mm, 28mm and 29mm sizes. The 25mm and 28mm versions are equipped with quartz movements, while the 29mm models are powered by the METAS-certified caliber 8700. All watches have diamond-set bezels and dials and are available in steel, Sedna/Moonshine gold or two-tone combinations.
As the decadence of minimalism slowly fades, excess is making a comeback in fine watchmaking. Intricate dials, intricate gem settings, and a wide range of colors are exactly what people have been craving to best express their personality on their wrist. For those who love the retro style and historical significance of the OMEGA Constellation collection, a total of 20 new models make it easier than ever with a variety of dial colors and case sizes.
The first Omega Constellation watch was released in 1952. Chronometer testing at the observatoryThe collection gradually expanded and was significantly revamped by designer Carol Didisheim in 1982. The Constellation style of the 80s remains the driving force behind the modern range. Respect for precision and time measurement It’s always been a priority. Somewhere between the tonneau Cushion shape with upward facing facets on front of integrated bracelet It feels very sculptural and modernist.Both the case and bracelet are polished to a liquid shine, enhancing the sense of sophistication and making the contrasting sheen of the two-tone model more easily distinguishable.
Of the 20 models, five come in 25mm cases, five in 28mm cases, and the remaining 10 in 29mm cases. The range of sizes allows for a range of wrist sizes to fit, but also offers some tech options. The largest size can house an automatic movement, so Omega has equipped the 29mm model with its caliber 8700. METAS certified master chronometerThis guarantees accuracy within -0/+7 seconds per day and resistance to magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss. Of course, quartz movements are generally more accurate than mechanical chronometers, so testing isn’t done as often. The 25mm and 28mm models use a quartz movement with the Constellation Observatory engraved on the caseback, and differ only by not having a date display.
Available in Stainless Steel, Moonshine Gold, and Sedna Gold options. And a combination of bothbut the real star of the show is the dial. Spiralling out from the Constellation star at 6 o’clock is a rough sunburst texture that creates an explosion of color. Different tones are explored in the steep valleys and peaks of the dial’s depth, ranging from eggplant to sage green, including various metallic golds and silvers. The bezel and dial of all references are also set with large diamonds, adding to the dynamics of sparkle as the watch moves. Omega’s tagline for this new release is “Jewelry that tells time,” and that certainly rings true.
