The story of this Omega Constellation
An emblematic figure among Omega watches, the Constellation embodies the chronometer standards born in 1952, with the Geneva Observatory medallion and its eight stars drawn from chronometry competitions. This 34-millimetre quartz Constellation Manhattan keeps the famous claws and the Roman-numeral bezel, in a discreet two-tone spirit. Reference 3980877 indicated on the caseback targets the enthusiast of a pre-owned Omega Constellation watch, heir to a lineage that runs from vintage pie-pan twelve-facet models through to the recent Globemaster and Constellation Co-Axial Master Chronometer families. Omega has created a Constellation collection spanning numerous variants, from yellow gold, rose gold, Sedna Gold 18K or white gold 18K (18k white gold), sometimes set with diamonds, mother-of-pearl or white mother-of-pearl, not forgetting historical references such as 168010 and Constellation Quadra or Day-Date variations. Omega Constellation watches thus form a high-end range where each watch expresses the same stylistic DNA.
Case, calibre and bracelet
The two-tone stainless-steel case measures 34 mm and features a gold bezel engraved with Roman numerals, framed by the four signature claws. The gold dial with applied indexes offers clear legibility with the date at 3 o’clock, in a sober register true to Constellation watches. Calibre 1430 powers this Constellation with the precision of a quartz movement bearing the chronometer mention, practical for daily use. The integrated steel bracelet, highlighted by gold lines, closes with an Omega folding clasp. The whole forms an elegant and easy-to-wear pre-owned Omega Constellation watch. The caseback confirms reference 3980877 and membership of the Constellation collection.
Why this watch
The 34 mm format delivers a measured presence that transcends trends, ideal for everyday use in professional settings as well as leisure. This pre-owned luxury watch combines quartz reliability with the Constellation Manhattan identity, often at a more accessible price point than recent Constellation Co-Axials. For those who appreciate the lineage, it usefully complements a selection already oriented towards vintage Omega models or modern 38 mm and 41 mm versions, Globemaster and Constellation Co-Axial Master Chronometer. Omega has conceived multiple bracelet and dial iterations within the Constellation collection, from pared-back silver to gem-set variants, making pairing and rotation in a collection easier.
