1961 Omega Constellation Gold-Cap Two-Tone (Ref. 14381 11 SC) 'Cal. 551' Champagne "Pie Pan" Dial

$ 2,450

While today the Constellation line is overshadowed by Omega's Speedmaster and Seamaster models, the striking Omega Constellation family was once the flagship in the Omega collection. 

Dating back to 1952, the Omega Constellation has been regarded as one of the most luxurious and precise watch collections offered by the brand. Add to that the fact that they have always been chronometer-rated, and you have a watch that is not only stunning in nearly any setting but also incredibly accurate.

Of the many variations of the Constellation through the years, the most celebrated are those that feature the pie-pan dials from the 1950s and 60s. Apart from the obvious depth the pie-pan effect creates, these watches boast beautiful marker variations and dial details.

Case in point: this 1961 Omega Constellation ref. 14381 11 SC, which is absolutely classic and incredibly handsome with its two-tone gold-capped case, fantastic champagne "pie-pan" dial, and original bracelet. It would be an excellent classic piece to add to any collection.
