Hi All
I noticed that there is very little discussions on Constellation series. Mostly members seem to have Seamasters, Speedmasters, etc. Where as in our part of the world, the most popular series is Constellation. Is this because of the difference in preferences based on regions? Or probably because Seamasters/Speedmaster are better investment?
Apologies for my ignorance if I am jumping towards a false conclusion. Would love to hear members feedback!

 

Do you mean vintage or modern Constellations? Vintage seems to be very popular here.

 

Lots of threads on OF regarding vintage Connies and very popular

 

Love connies...

 

What holds me back is the relatively small diameter. 40mm is my bare minimum with my 7 3/4" wrists. I'd adore a Constellation with a pie pan dial and date window, but it would need to be larger than the current models.

 

Lots of vintage Constellation passion on the forum.

Love my 1959.

 

That's really just fashion, the way current styles affect the way our eye perceives what looks good, and what doesn't.

I don't think that men's wrists have gotten that much bigger, if at all, from 50 years ago, and back then, they would routinely wear 32mm watches, and never looked at them as under-sized.

 

I have 8” wrists and have no problem wearing my Connie. All a matter of perception

 

34mm was good enough for the King :0)

 

Wrist size / watch size.....It is all relative and depends on the watch design / not all about case size I think.....

 

The Constellation is the best watch Omega ever made.

 

Which one? The blingy quartz 1980s ones, 1970s hummers, 60s dog leg lugs or 50s dog tooth dial? That is such a vague statement it means nothing!

 

Did someone say Constellation?

 

I wouldn't mind this one...

 

I'm very partial to the 1950s and 1960s models, when Constellation was the top of the line. I don't much care for the large watches in fashion today. My wrist is 7 1/4" and 38mm is about is large as I'd go (with an exception for one certain 42mm one).

 

I like 50s and 60s Connies the best. While both the model and the company has had its ups and downs in the past sixty years or so since the introduction of the Constellation it is my opinion that the Constellation has always been the top of the line watch Omega has produced in any era since the inception of the model up through the present.

 

the one i just received !!!

 

Ok. I probably got it wrong then.Members are big fans of vintage constellation but I think modern constellation not much.

Agreed, the size could be one of the reasons.

 

Isn't Elvis Presley's omega watch that went on auction?
