History The Omega Constellation line was introduced in 1952 as the brand's flagship collection for precision and luxury. It was created to showcase Omega's achievements in observatory chronometer testing. By the early 1970s, when this watch was produced, the collection had evolved to embrace the geometric shapes of the time, moving away from the pie-pan dials of the 50s into the bold cushion cases that defined the decade. This model houses the Caliber 1001, part of the 1000-series family which was developed to be thinner and more efficient, marking a significant era in Omega's movement manufacturing history.
