Omega Constellation Quartz 27mm Watch
Omega have long been considered one of the very best luxury watchmakers in the world. After being founded by Louis Brandy in La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1848, the brand has since gone on to boast an incredibly rich history. In 1917, Britain’s Royal Flying Corps chose Omega as the official timekeepers for their combat units, and the U.S. Army followed suit in 1918. Most notably, Omega have been the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games since 1932, highlighting their attention to ensuring their timepieces are extremely precise. The brand was also the watch of choice for NASA’s manned moon landing in 1969.

The Constellation has long been a defining symbol of Omega’s commitment to precision and excellence in all of their timepieces. This model boasts a white opaline-silvery dial with incredible diamond indexes and a unique silk-like pattern which is inspired by several Constellation models produced almost 60 years ago.
The 27mm case on this particular model is made from stainless steel and 18K yellow gold, and this same gold is used for the hands and diamond holders, along with the polished bars within the stainless-steel bracelet. The watch is driven by the precise Omega Calibre 1376 and is further distinguished by the Constellation’s iconic “claws” and brushed bezel. This timepiece is the perfect accessory for any lady who wishes to stand out from the crowd, with the glittering diamonds taking centre stage on this wonderfully crafted watch.

The British watchmakers specialise in luxury aviation-themed watches and have already created a number of special-edition watches for serving or former members of the armed forces.
