Omega Constellation 'Manhattan' Two-Tone Wristwatch
This is a vintage Omega Constellation 'Manhattan' wristwatch featuring the iconic integrated design introduced in the early 1980s. The watch is constructed from a two-tone combination of stainless steel and yellow gold accents. The bezel is yellow gold, engraved with Roman numerals, and features the hallmark four 'claws' (griffes) at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions, which historically held the sapphire crystal in place. The white dial displays narrow golden baton hands and a date window at the 3 o'clock position. The integrated bracelet is composed of horizontal stainless steel links separated by golden 'half-bar' connectors, creating a flexible and seamless appearance. In terms of condition, the watch displays visible signs of wear consistent with regular use, including various surface scratches on the metal bracelet and bezel. There is noticeable dirt or skin oil accumulation between the links and around the claws, suggesting a need for professional cleaning. The gold plating on some link connectors appears slightly worn. This model generally houses a high-precision quartz movement and represents a classic example of late 20th-century luxury Swiss watchmaking, specifically the 'Manhattan' style defined by designer Carol Didisheim.
