OMEGA introduces the Constellation Observatory Collection

The Constellation Observatory, the First Two-Hand Watch to Achieve Master Chronometer Certification, Fully Tested at the Laboratoire de Précision

A new acoustic testing method developed by the Laboratoire de Précision enables Master Chronometer certification of a two-hand watch for the first time.

Two years after the announcement of the Laboratoire de Précision, OMEGA introduces the Constellation Observatory Collection. Using an acoustic testing method combined with optical hand‑tracking developed by the Laboratoire de Précision and certified by METAS. The collection’s movements and watches undergo both Chronometer and then Master Chronometer testing without the need for a seconds hand.  For the first time in watchmaking history, a two-hand hour and minute watch has achieved Master Chronometer certification.

Precious Metals (Calibre 8915)

Four expressions in 18K gold, each developed to achieve a seamless precious metal expression — full 18K Sedna™ or Moonshine™ Gold pieces unite case, hand-guilloché dial, and movement, available on leather straps or bracelet. The 18K Canopus Gold™ model pairs a clean-cut watch with an 18K Sedna™ Gold decorated movement visible through the caseback.

The Platinum-Gold edition completes OMEGA’s precious metal repertoire, bringing all four of the brand’s proprietary precious metal alloys together in a single collection for the first time.

O-MEGASTEEL (Calibre 8914)

There are four expressions in OMEGA’s exclusive steel alloy, chosen for its hardness and mechanical properties. The collection introduces a black ceramic pie-pan dial, a significant technical achievement in dial production that required extensive development to realise the precision of the dodecagonal form in ceramic. Three further references feature coloured dials with stamped groove facets.
