The Constellation has long stood as the benchmark for Omega's chronometer-grade dress watches — and this Ref. 14381-3, dating from 1959, captures that legacy in refined, understated detail. Housing the highly regarded Calibre 551 chronometer-certified movement, it reflects Omega’s precision craftsmanship at the height of the post-war Swiss watch boom.

This example features a silver brushed dial with applied gold furniture and rare Onyx inlay to both the hands and hour markers — a premium configuration that was reserved for only the most refined Constellation models. These black inlays provide crisp contrast against the warm brushed dial, giving the watch a subtle yet luxurious feel.

The 35mm steel case is paired with an original Omega beads of rice bracelet, adding both comfort and period-correct character. It's fitted with an acrylic crystal and the original folded Omega clasp, completing the elegant profile of one of Omega's most celebrated references.
