Description

At its heart, the Constellation Jumbo is powered by Omega’s legendary in-house caliber 561, a chronometer-certified movement known for its precision and reliability. Introduced in the mid-1960s, the Cal. 561 was part of Omega’s famed 500 series, celebrated for their robustness and ease of maintenance, making them enduring favorites for both collectors and watchmakers. This automatic movement features a date function at 3 o’clock, smoothly advancing within its framed aperture, and showcases a buttery-smooth winding experience that underscores Omega’s commitment to engineering excellence.

The 18k yellow gold case is particularly captivating, with gentle, straight lugs and the iconic Constellation case back featuring the Observatory medallion surrounded by eight stars, each a tribute to Omega’s chronometry awards in the first half of the 20th century. This homage not only anchors the model’s heritage but also cements it as a proud symbol of precision watchmaking. Owning this Omega Constellation Jumbo is more than just acquiring a timepiece—it’s about embracing a piece of horological history, a watch that retains both the luxurious weight and legacy of Omega’s most prestigious line, crafted for those who value both legacy and aesthetic appeal in their collections.
