The Omega Constellation was one of Omega’s most important watch lines of the 1950s and 1960s, built around precision, elegant case design and officially certified chronometer movements. These were serious watches in period, sitting towards the top of Omega’s catalogue and representing some of the brand’s finest automatic production.
This 1962 Omega Constellation Ref. 14902 62SC is a lovely example of that era. It features the highly attractive dog leg lug case design, a detail that gives these early Constellations far more shape and character than a standard round dress watch.
The 35mm stainless steel case is well proportioned and wears beautifully. It has enough presence to feel substantial on the wrist, while still keeping the refined, elegant feel that makes vintage Constellations so appealing.
The silver dial is clean and balanced, with applied hour markers, date window, Constellation script and the signature star at 6 o’clock. The dial has a restrained, classic look that suits the case perfectly, making the watch feel sophisticated without being overly formal.
Inside is the Omega calibre 561 automatic chronometer movement, one of the key reasons collectors continue to appreciate early Constellations. The watch is also fitted with an acrylic crystal featuring the engraved Omega logo, along with its original black Omega leather strap and Omega pin buckle.

A Word on Condition
This Omega Constellation presents very well for its age, with the stainless steel case showing honest signs of careful use. The dog leg lugs remain a key part of the watch’s appeal, giving the case real shape and a more distinctive presence than many vintage dress watches from the same period.
The silver dial is attractive and well balanced, with light age-related character visible under close inspection. The applied markers, handset, Constellation script and star all work together nicely, giving the watch a correct and coherent vintage appearance.
The acrylic crystal features the engraved Omega logo, which is a lovely detail and exactly the kind of thing collectors like to see on a vintage Omega. The original black Omega leather strap and Omega pin buckle add further charm, although as with any vintage strap, it should be viewed as part of the watch’s originality and history rather than a modern daily-wear strap.
Overall, this is an honest, attractive and well preserved vintage Constellation with the case design, movement and detail that make these watches so collectable.
Accessories / The Set
This watch is sold as watch only, which is typical for vintage timepieces. It is fitted with its original black Omega leather strap and Omega pin buckle, which are lovely details and add to the overall appeal of the watch.
We place greater value on condition, originality and overall integrity than whether a box or papers happen to be present. Many vintage watches have lost their packaging over time, and we do not believe in inflating prices with non-original extras.
If a watch does include genuine box and papers, this will always be clearly noted in the description. All purchases are supplied with bespoke Watts On Watches packaging and full purchase documentation.
