Partially verified

This Omega Constellation wristwatch, produced circa 2010, features a two-body case constructed from a combination of stainless steel and 18K yellow gold. It is fitted with an integrated stainless steel and 18K yellow gold link bracelet, which terminates in a double deployant clasp. The watch is powered by the self-winding Caliber 8602 movement, which incorporates a co-axial escapement, a free-sprung self-compensating balance spring, and a monometallic balance with timing screws. The watch dial is satine silver with applied 18K yellow gold baton indexes, luminous squares, and luminous yellow gold dauphine hands. Notable functions include a center seconds hand, a date aperture located at 6 o'clock, and a day-of-the-week aperture at 12 o'clock. The exterior is defined by a graduated bezel featuring engraved radial Roman numerals and characteristic side 'claws', paired with a screw-down transparent case back and sapphire crystals.

Object description

Case and Dial Design

The wristwatch is housed in a two-body case made from a mix of stainless steel and 18K yellow gold, featuring a combination of polished and brushed surfaces. The design includes a graduated bezel engraved with radial Roman numerals and the distinctive 'claws' on each side of the case. The case measures 40 mm in diameter and 14 mm in thickness, with a total length of approximately 195 mm. It is finished with sapphire crystals and a screw-down transparent case back to view the movement.

The dial is finished in a satine silver tone, featuring applied yellow gold baton indexes and luminous square markers for visibility. Time is indicated by luminous yellow gold dauphine hands. The dial layout includes two specific calendar apertures: a day-of-the-week display positioned at the 12 o'clock index and a date display positioned at the 6 o'clock index.

Movement and Escapement

The timepiece is powered by the Omega Caliber 8602, a self-winding, automatic movement. The movement is rhodium-plated and features fausses côtes decoration. It is designed as a chronometer, incorporating a co-axial escapement intended for precision timekeeping.

The technical assembly of the caliber includes a monometallic balance equipped with timing screws for calibration. It further utilizes a shock absorber system and a free-sprung self-compensating flat balance spring to manage oscillations.

Evidence for this section
  • “Cal. 8602, rhodium-plated, fausses côtes decoration, co-axial escapement, monometallic balance with timing screws, shock absorber, free-sprung self-compensating flat balance spring.”
  • “Overhaul recommended, at buyer's expense”
