1979 OMEGA CONSTELLATION CAL. 1332 REF. 196.0138
Named after the 8 stars emblazoned on its crest, the Constellation was launched by Omega in 1952. Because of its high quality construction and unfaltering precision, it quickly became known as "the Swiss Watch". The 8 stars on the medallion represent 8 precision records Omega set at Kew-Teddington and the Geneva Observatory during the mid-20th century. The iconic engraving of the stars and observatory are homage to these results as well as the incredible accuracy that the Constellation offered.
