Product Description and Details for Listing (English)
OMEGA Constellation Manhattan Two-Tone Quartz - Ref. 396.1201
Presenting an elegant and highly collectible timepiece, the Omega Constellation Manhattan, reference 396.1201. This model is a definitive example of Omega's refined style from the 1990s and early 2000s, combining Swiss precision with a distinctly luxurious aesthetic.
Key Selling Points & Features:
Iconic Manhattan Design: The watch features the famous Constellation "Manhattan" style, instantly recognizable by its four "Griffes" (claws) that clamp onto the bezel and the integrated bracelet design, giving it a strong, architectural profile.
Two-Tone Luxury: The watch is typically crafted in a luxurious Two-Tone combination of Stainless Steel and 18k Yellow Gold. This is most evident in the fixed bezel, which often features engraved Roman numerals, and the bracelet links.
Swiss Quartz Precision: It is powered by a reliable Omega Swiss Quartz movement, often the Caliber 1532. Quartz movements of this era were celebrated for their exceptional accuracy and low maintenance, ensuring reliable timekeeping.
Elegant Dial: The dial is often found in shades like gold, white, or black, sometimes featuring a subtle textured or honeycomb pattern that adds depth and sophistication. The date aperture is conveniently located at the 3 o'clock position.
Quality Construction: The watch is fitted with a durable Sapphire Crystal, known for its excellent scratch resistance, and the caseback typically features the historical Constellation medallion depicting the Geneva Observatory crowned by a constellation of eight stars, symbolizing Omega's chronometric achievements.
Unisex Appeal: With a case diameter often measuring around 33mm to 34mm (excluding the crown), this model is ideally sized as a mid-size men's dress watch or a full-sized, luxurious timepiece for women (Unisex).
