Dial and Hands
The dial features a vertically brushed silver finish that plays with the light, adorned with applied baton hour markers featuring black inlays for contrast. A date window is framed at the three o'clock position. The surface of the dial exhibits a consistent and distinct spotting patina throughout, often referred to as tropical aging, which gives the watch a completely unique aesthetic. The original black stick hands are intact and legible, complementing the indices and the printed text, which includes the applied Omega logo and the script Constellation Automatic branding.

Case and Crystal
The stainless steel case is designed in a cushion or TV-screen shape, measuring 32 mm which offers a significant wrist presence due to its square geometry. The case retains its original brushing on the upper surfaces, while the flanks are polished. There are visible scratches and signs of wear consistent with a watch of this age, particularly on the caseback and sides, yet the case retains its sharp definition. The crown is the original Omega-signed component.

Movement
Powering this timepiece is the high-grade Omega Caliber 1001, an automatic movement with 20 jewels. This movement is a certified chronometer, adjusted to five positions and temperature, as engraved on the rose gold-plated bridges. Recently serviced, it is visually clean and is currently running within vintage tolerances. Timegrapher results indicate excellent performance with an accuracy of +2 to +3 seconds per day and strong amplitude, demonstrating remarkable mechanical health for a vintage piece.

Strap
The watch is paired with a vintage-style black leather strap featuring white contrast stitching. This strap choice highlights the black accents on the dial and provides a sporty yet elegant look. It is finished with a steel pin buckle and is soft and ready for wear.

Condition
This timepiece is in Good vintage condition. While the dial shows evident aging and patina which is common for this era, it presents an honest and charismatic vintage look. The case shows normal wear marks but no structural damage. The movement is the highlight of this specific watch, performing at a very high level of accuracy.

Dimensions
The case measures 32 mm in width excluding the crown. Due to the square form factor, it wears larger than a traditional round watch of the same diameter, offering a classic fit on the wrist.

Remarks
The Reference 154.0002 is a quintessential 1970s Omega that bridges the gap between dress watch elegance and funky period design. The visible aging on the dial makes this specific piece unique, ensuring no other collector will have one exactly like it. With its chronometer-grade heart beating strongly inside, it remains a reliable and stylish companion.

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.
