Omega Constellation 368.1201

Omega Constellation Chronometer (Ref. 368.1201)

Step into a legacy of precision with the Omega Constellation "Manhattan." Originally launched in 1982, the Constellation series introduced the world to the "Griffes" or claws—the four polished tabs on the side of the case that originally held the sapphire crystal and gasket in place to ensure water resistance. Today, they remain one of the most recognizable design signatures in horological history.

This specific reference, the 368.1201, is a masterclass in two-tone execution. It features a stunning silver dial with a "Clous de Paris" (hobnail) texture that catches the light beautifully, topped with applied gold indices and the iconic Constellation star.

Inside beats the Omega Calibre 1120, a COSC-certified chronometer automatic movement known for its reliability and slim profile, allowing the watch to sit comfortably under any shirt cuff.
