Omega Constellation Day-Date 'Manhattan', stainless steel case 34 mm, quartz movement, champagne dial, leather strap; unworn condition with no signs of wear, shipped insured, no original box, papers or warranty.
Description from the seller
Omega Constellation Day-Date "Manhattan", one of the most distinctive and collectible lines from the historic Swiss house, originally introduced in the early 1980s and remained in vogue until the 1990s.
Main Features of the Model
The four "claws" (Claws or Griffes): Positioned at 3 and 9 o’clock, they are the most famous stylistic element of the Manhattan design. They were initially created for the functional purpose of securing the sapphire crystal and the gasket to guarantee water resistance, but they have become an iconic aesthetic detail of the Constellation line.
The bezel with Roman numerals: This version features the numbers engraved directly onto the satin-finished steel bezel, radially arranged.
The multifunction dial (Day-Date): It features a symmetrical two-counter display:
The left sub-dial indicates the day of the week (SUN, MON, TUE...).
The right sub-dial indicates the date of the month (1 to 31).
Hands: bronzed or blued: The blue hands create a high-contrast color against the light dial background.
Movement: This configuration is typically driven by a high-precision quartz electronic movement branded Omega (such as Caliber 1444 or 1445), common for vintage references from this period (e.g., Ref. 396.1070 / 396.1080 or similar).
