As luxury timepieces go, the contemporary
Omega Constellation watch collection is one of the most successful, versatile and well recognized. With a wide range of models for both men and women, in a variety of styles, and incorporating an impressive technical range from time-only quartz models up to sophisticated chronographs, the Constellation watch family has been a definitive success for the Omega brand.
One of the most exciting newer models in this popular line is a men's watch. The
Omega Constellation Double Eagle Chrono watch is an extremely versatile timepiece that in terms of style, handily bridges the gap between sport and dress; this is a watch smart enough for more elegant clothing, yet it also has the presence and durability to be equally fitting for casual times and weekends. The subtle contrasts between brushed and polished surfaces, as well as the distinctive and classically appealing Roman numeral bezel give the Double Eagle Chrono timepiece an impressive character and presence upon the wrist.
Measuring 41mm in diameter, the case of the
Omega Constellation Double Eagle Chrono watch is crafted from stainless steel, titanium, or red gold. In addition to the stainless steel version which is available with a matching bracelet, each model variation can be obtained with a rubber strap, for those who prefer to emphasize the sporty nature of this timepiece. A stunning gem-set version of the 18k red gold model is also offered, which features a bezel totally encircled with baguette cut diamonds. True sports watch credentials are assured by a well-insulated case and winding crown, which unite to ensure water resistance to an impressive 100 meters.
The Omega Constellation Double Eagle Chrono is equipped with a superb self-winding chronograph movement -- the Omega 3313. Highly acclaimed since its debut in the
Speedmaster Broad Arrow timepiece, this finely crafted mechanism is controlled by a column wheel and features a sophisticated vertical clutch design, which significantly improves the precision of the chronograph start/stop function, and also permits the chronograph to be run continuously without excessive wear. Sophisticated horological technique is also embodied in the freely-sprung balance and the exclusive Co-Axial escapement, which significantly reduces friction, promoting long term performance and extending service intervals. This finely finished caliber complete with Cotes de Geneve and perlage decorations, can be admired through a sapphire crystal window in the caseback.
