Omega Constellation Manhattan Mens Large Chronometer Watch, Automatic, Date - Stainless Steel & 18K Gold

Omega

Item No. 5647

Omega's flagship line for decades, the Constellation represents style, luxury, attention to detail, robust function, and most all, superior precision. Elegant and stately, it's well-suited for both casual and professional dress.

Today's offering showcases this uncommon mens Omega Constellation Manhattan-based watch in steel and solid 18K gold with date produced in only limited numbers. Designed by Carol Didisheim, the Manhattan became one of Omega's iconic designs.

Our friend and Constellation expert Desmond Guilfoyle described it this way: "The Omega Constellation Manhattan is a bona fide technical and aesthetic icon of the nineteen-eighties. It is one of a handful of early nineteen-eighties watches that have so far stood the test of time. It stands alongside the Piaget Polo, the revived Cartier Tank Watch, the Movado Museum Watch collection, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and the Swatch as true emblems of nineteen-eighties watch design."

While Omega fitted the majority of these Manhattans with 32mm cases and quartz movements, this uncommon automatic chronometer model had a 36mm case, the same diameter as a Rolex Datejust. And unlike the quartz watches, Omega fitted these with exposition backs covered by a sapphire crystal.

For the movement of this watch the company used their caliber 1111 mechanism, based on the ETA 2892-2, worked up to officially certified chronometer standards. As Desmond points out ETA's movement has achieved an impressive reputation for quality, reliability, accuracy and precision.

Our Manhattan is in beautiful original condition - it is fully Omega and presents as about a 9.5 out of 10. A Master Watchmaker has just freshly serviced the movement making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Note that the color in the photos came out looking slightly off-tone. The gold is traditional 18K yellow with matching gold color dial and the bezel markers are true black, not dark brown.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
