Step back in time with a horological icon: the Omega Constellation Reference 198.0136. This distinguished timepiece, originating from 1984, encapsulates the timeless elegance and innovative spirit for which Omega is renowned. Whilst it is still a bit ‘early’ to consider this watch an icon, this first series Manhattan does stand out as a truly unique 80s design.
Crafted with a refined 33mm steel case, this Constellation presents a sophisticated profile that is both understated and commanding. The striking anthracite dial provides a captivating backdrop, offering exceptional legibility while exuding a unique depth and character. And make no mistake, thanks to its integrated bracelet this watch wears a lot bigger than its 33mm diameter suggests. It won’t look small on a wrist up to about 17,5cm in circumference.
At its heart beats a precise quartz movement, a testament to the era’s advanced watchmaking and a promise of reliable timekeeping. Presented in good condition, this vintage treasure is a superb opportunity to own a piece of Omega history. While it does not include its original box or papers, its inherent charm and enduring design remain undeniable, making it a distinguished addition to any connoisseur’s collection.
Waar wij van houden:
- Warmly aged original dial, which shows some charming signs of age.
- A distinctive bi-color case bearing some minor marks of wear, but still featuring sharp lines.
- The combination of dial and bezel reflects the light in a mesmerizing way. Exceptionally cool.
