In 1982, OMEGA launched a watch which introduced a particularly dramatic and enduring design concept. The watch was the Constellation Manhattan, and its now-famous “Griffes” or claws placed it among the ranks of the world’s most instantly identifiable timepieces. It has remained an incredibly popular collection for nearly thirty years. In 2009, OMEGA re-designed the entire family, updating the line and upgrading every feature, attracting a whole new generation of Constellation wearers. The design of the new Constellations was strongly inspired by its iconic ancestors. The familiar star is still at the 6 o’clock position and the claws, refined and updated, still define every watch in the collection. The bracelets' familiar horizontal links have been re-engineered for maximum comfort. There are also some features that distinguish the Constellation line from its forebears. The striking dials, in silver, champagne, white mother-of-pearl, black, and brown, are finished with either a sun-brushed finish or a shell structure from the star. Their “Dauphine plume” hands are either rhodium plated or made of 18 Ct gold and coated with Super-LumiNova. All of the new Constellations are water resistant to a depth of 100 metres / 330 feet / 10 bar.
