The Omega Constellation line has represented the pinnacle of the brand's precision chronometer manufacturing since its introduction in 1952.

The TV-screen case design became a hallmark of this period, offering a substantial presence on the wrist while maintaining the high mechanical standards denoted by the observatory medallion on the caseback.
