The Constellation range appeared at Omega in 1952. The movements are certified chronometers and the case backs are engraved with the image of the Geneva Observatory as well as eight stars.
The case shape is known as "C Shape" on this reference, a variant of the cushion case. A brushed bezel and bevels are also part of the design and give a beautiful play of light to the whole.
