The Omega Constellation is the brand's dress-leaning collection, defined by the 1982 "Manhattan" design: four griffes, or claws, on the case sides that hold the bezel and crystal in place, plus an integrated bracelet and a dial bearing the observatory medallion or star. It runs in 25 to 41mm across steel, gold, and two-tone, suiting buyers who want a refined unisex watch with a strong women's range. La Maison Monaco is an authorized Omega dealer in Canada, with CAD pricing and 0% Flexiti financing on approved credit.
What defines the Omega Constellation, and what are its key references?
The Constellation is identified by the Manhattan design introduced in 1982. Four griffes, the claws set at three and nine o'clock, clamp the bezel and crystal against the case, while a half-moon facet sits on the dial side and the bracelet flows directly from the case. The dial carries either an applied star or the observatory medallion on the caseback, a reference to the precision records Omega set at observatory chronometer trials.
The modern line spans 25 to 41mm. Smaller cases and quartz movements anchor the women's range, often with diamond-set bezels or indices and mother-of-pearl dials, while the larger automatic references read as everyday dress watches for any wrist. Materials run from stainless steel to yellow, rose, and Sedna gold, plus two-tone steel-and-gold combinations. Browse the references in stock in the grid to compare case sizes, dial finishes, and bracelet styles across the steel, gold, and two-tone variants we currently list.
What movements power the Omega Constellation?
The modern Constellation is built around two movement types. Most automatic references use Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer calibres, which means the watch is certified to the METAS Master Chronometer standard for accuracy and resistance to magnetic fields, on top of its chronometer-grade timekeeping. These self-winding movements are visible through a display caseback on many references and give the Constellation its mechanical heart.
Some smaller Constellation references, particularly within the women's range, use quartz movements. A quartz Constellation runs on a battery, keeps very accurate time, and lets Omega build a slimmer case, which pairs well with diamond-set or mother-of-pearl dials. Whether a given watch is automatic or quartz depends on the reference and the case size, so check the individual product pages in the grid for the exact calibre. Both movement types carry the same Constellation design language and the full manufacturer warranty when purchased from an authorized dealer.
Frequently asked questions
How much does an Omega Constellation cost in Canada?+
Across the catalog, the Constellation runs from roughly $4,400 to $80,500 CAD. Steel quartz and smaller automatic references sit at the lower end, while gold cases, diamond-set bezels, and mother-of-pearl dials reach the upper figures. Pricing depends heavily on case material and gem-setting. Current CAD pricing is shown on each product in the grid, so compare the in-stock references directly to see where each one falls.
How do I choose between a Constellation automatic and a quartz model?+
Choose a Co-Axial Master Chronometer automatic if you want a self-winding mechanical movement, a display caseback on many references, and METAS Master Chronometer certification for accuracy and magnetic resistance. Choose a quartz Constellation if you prefer a slimmer case, battery-powered accuracy, and a lower entry price, common in the smaller women's references. Movement type often tracks case size, so confirm the calibre on each product page in the grid.
Is the Omega Constellation a men's or women's watch?+
It is a unisex line with a particularly strong women's range. Cases run from 25 to 41mm, so smaller sizes, often quartz with diamond or mother-of-pearl details, suit smaller wrists, while the larger automatics read as everyday dress watches for any wearer. The Manhattan design with its four griffes is consistent across sizes. Use the references in stock in the grid to match a case diameter to your wrist.
What is the Constellation Manhattan, and why the griffes?+
Manhattan is the name of the 1982 design that defines the modern Constellation. Its signature feature is the four griffes, the claws on the case at three and nine o'clock, which were originally engineered to hold the crystal and a gasket firmly against the case for water resistance. Today they are the collection's defining visual cue, paired with the half-moon facets on the dial and the integrated bracelet that flows from the case.
