COMMENT
洗練された印象を受ける樽型Cラインのケースは、ジェラルド・ジェンタがデザインを手がけ、1970年前後によく見られました。後期型のガラス型風防に比べ、前期型のドーム型風防で、ヴィンテージテイストが堪能できます。 フラットの鏡面仕上げのスムースベゼルは、ヘアラインのケースとの対比が図られておりスポーティーです。ダイヤルはグレーのリネン仕上げを採用。バーインデックスのセンター位置と、ペンシルハンドはブラックの塗装が施されており、読時性に優れています。カレンダー枠は複雑にカッティングされ、細かいところまで抜かりがありません。ブレスレットはRef.1040、エンドリンク518です。
ケースは良いプロポーションをしています。ラグのエッジ部にある鏡面の面取りが綺麗に残っています。ダイヤルは美しい状態を維持しています。インデックスや針の塗装は、剥げなくパーフェクトです。弊社にて分解掃除済です。ご購入後、すぐお使いいただけます。
星座を意味するコンステレーションは、オメガの最高精度と自動巻を両立させた珠玉のモデルです。 クオーツ時計開発以前の「精度こそ絶対的な価値」とされた時代に生まれた最高峰の時計です。快適に装着できるブレスレットを採用していますので、日常使いに最適です。
BRAND
コンステレーションは1952年に発表されて以降、現在もオメガの主力モデルのひとつ。技術的に優れたドレスウォッチがどうあるべきかに対するオメガの答えを示したモデルです。Constellationとは星座を意味し、高級感と高精度を追求し続けたフラグシップモデル。OMEGAが創業以来積み重ねてきた技術を集結したという精度の高さが魅力のひとつ。シンプルながらエレガントで気品あるデザインも高く評価されています。
HIGHLIGHT
C Line Case
COMMENT
The barrel-shaped C-line case, designed by Gerald Genta and commonly seen around 1970, imparts a sophisticated impression. In contrast to the later flat glass type, the early model's domed crystal provides a vintage taste. The flat mirror-finished smooth bezel, contrasting with the hairline-finished case, adds a sporty touch. The dial adopts a silver sunray finish, complemented by black-painted bar indices at the center position and dauphine hands for excellent legibility. The intricately cut calendar frame showcases meticulous attention to detail. The bracelet is Ref.1040 with Endlink 518.
The case boasts excellent proportions, with beautifully preserved mirror-finished bevels on the lug edges. The dial is in a beautiful condition, and the paint on the indices and hands is perfect, showing no signs of wear. The watch has undergone disassembly and cleaning by our team, confirming a power reserve of 50 hours and a daily deviation of plus 9 seconds. It is ready for use immediately upon purchase.
The Constellation, signifying a constellation of stars, is a gem that combines Omega's highest precision with automatic winding. Born in an era when "precision is the absolute value" prevailed before the development of quartz watches, it stands as the pinnacle of timepieces. The bracelet, ensuring comfortable wear, makes it perfect for daily use.
BRAND
The Constellation, introduced in 1952, remains one of Omega's flagship models to this day. It represents Omega's response to what a technically superior dress watch should be. The name "Constellation" signifies a constellation of stars, embodying the pursuit of luxury and high precision. It brings together Omega's accumulated technology since its founding, showcasing one of its key attractions—the exceptional accuracy. Its simple yet elegant and dignified design has earned high praise.
