Omega - Constellation - Unisex - 1990-1999

• Brand: Omega
• Collection: Constellation (line derived from the historic design "Manhattan" introduced in 1982)
• Indicative reference: 196.1080 / 196.1072
• Year of production: 1991 (accurately identified via serial number 53990197 engraved on the case back)

Case and Bezel
Case material: Stainless steel with satin finish and polished edges. The case shape is a classic integrated tonneau, typical of the collection.
Bezel: Fixed, made in 18-karat yellow gold. Circular satin finish interrupted by the classic incised and black-enamelled Roman numerals for hour indication.
The "Claws": The model’s most iconic element. They are four bright yellow gold inserts (two at 3 o’clock and two at 9 o’clock) that visually “embrace” the bezel and lock it to the case. They originated to ensure water resistance by pressing the sapphire crystal, later becoming the signature style of the Constellation.
crown: Winding crown, screw-down, positioned at 3 o’clock, knurled and customized on the flat surface with the Omega Greek letter logo (Ω).

Dial and Functions
Dial: Matte white/ivory color, clean and symmetrical.
Indices: Minimalist design with a minute track in a "chemin de fer" style (railway track) and applied hour markers made of small yellow gold dots.
Hands: Baton-style hour and minute hands in yellow gold; central seconds hand is slender, also in gold.
Date window: Rectangular, positioned at 3 o’clock, with a gold border, white background, and black numerals.
• Inscriptions: Applied gold Ω logo and the word "OMEGA" below 12 o’clock; the word "Constellation" in italics above 6 o’clock. The lower edge bears the inscription "Swiss Made".

Case Back
Type: Press-in case back in steel.
Central engraving: Features the famous Geneva Observatory medallion surmounted by 8 finely brushed stars. The stars represent the six records and two first prizes for absolute precision Omega earned between 1931 and 1952.
Serialisation: On the outer right edge of the case back is clearly visible the laser-etched eight-digit unique serial number: 53990197.

Strap
The watch comes with a leather strap (alligator/crocodile pattern) in a cognac/bright orange hue. The lugs attachment is integrated, contoured to fit the central cutout of the Omega lugs. Note: This model originally came with a stainless steel or two-tone bracelet with horizontal bars; the leather strap is a customization.

Condition of the Example
Case and Case Back: The watch presents in good vintage original condition. Steel and gold show no obvious dings or geometric deformations, indicating the case has not undergone aggressive polishing. There are widespread but light micro-scratches from use (hairlines) on both the lugs and the case back.
Crystal and Dial: The sapphire crystal and dial appear clean and free of patina, moisture spots, or unusual yellowing due to age.
Strap: The leather shows slight wear at the pass-through and near the case attachment, consistent with regular but careful use.
Immediate insured shipping.
