OMEGA Jumbo Constellation Ref.168.001

COMMENT

機械式時計が隆盛を極めた頃の、オメガのフラッグシップモデル。その中でも珍しい、ビッグな37mm。ラグも同様に大きくなり、しなやかなシェイプで優美さに拍車をかけます。ベゼルは真ん中にエッジのついた山形。立体感がありフェイスに奥行きを見せます。ダイヤルはツートンで、中央はサンレイ、外側は同心円の仕上げで光の反射を変えます。針はドルフィンハンドのクラシックな組み合わせです。センターにブラックペイントを施し、読時性能も充分です。

クロノメーターCal.561は、カレンダー早送り(21時⇔1時の間針を往復させる)が付く、5ポジション（五姿勢および温度調整）の機械であり、歴代の500系オートマチック・ムーブメントを改良して、高評価を残した機械。

ダイヤルはポツポツとしたエイジングが確認できます。針とインデックス、アプライドのΩロゴやスターはパーフェクトです。ケースは素晴らしいコンディションです。ジャンボケースはラグの迫力がそのままに残っています。弊社にて分解掃除済みですので、ご購入後すぐご使用いただけます。

旗艦機種コンステレーション、ツートーンダイヤル、ジャンボケース。この年式のオメガにおいて、特別な存在であることは間違いのないお品です。

Jumbo Case

COMMENT

This Omega flagship model, the Constellation, represents the era when mechanical watches flourished. Among them, the rare and oversized 37mm Constellation exudes a modern charm with its substantial case size. Its lugs are also larger, featuring a graceful shape that adds to its elegance. The bezel sports an edgy triangular shape in the center, creating depth and dimension on the face. The dial features a two-tone design, with a sunray finish in the center and concentric circles on the outer edge, altering the reflection of light for a smooth texture, characteristic of the Constellation's elegance. The indices are bars, complemented by dauphine hands for a classic combination. With black paint at the center, readability is ensured.

The chronometer Cal.561 features a calendar quickset (between 9 p.m. and 1 a.m.), and is a 5-position (including temperature adjustment) movement that improved upon the legacy of the 500 series automatic movements, earning high praise for its performance.

While the dial shows some signs of aging, the hands, indices, applied Omega logo, and star remain in perfect condition. Given its refined face, the condition is a significant point of consideration. The case is in splendid condition, retaining the powerful presence of the jumbo case with its impressive lug size and remaining small facets on the edges. It has been disassembled and cleaned by our team, ensuring immediate usability upon purchase.

The Constellation, meaning "constellation," is a gem of a model that combines Omega's highest precision with automatic winding. It was born in an era where precision was deemed of absolute value, before the development of quartz watches.

Mechanical Omegas from this era excel in automatic winding efficiency, requiring manual winding in rare cases. The original crown of the Constellation prioritizes design aesthetics. Though manual winding may feel somewhat cumbersome, it's part of the original specifications and poses no issue.

Since its introduction in 1952, the Constellation remains one of Omega's flagship models. It represents Omega's answer to what a technically superior dress watch should be. Meaning "constellation," the Constellation continually pursued luxury and precision. One of its charms lies in the culmination of Omega's accumulated technology since its inception, resulting in exceptional precision. Its simple yet elegant and dignified design has also been highly praised.
