Omega has added some bold and sophisticated new men’s timepieces, laced with gold and ceramic, to its acclaimed Constellation collection.
For gents looking to up their wrist candy ante, Omega has added new 41mm watches to its Constellation line up, timepieces that beautifully capture the collection’s most famous design traits, including the iconic claws and the half-moon facets at either end of the case.
The new Constellation pieces have been constructed using advanced watchmaking materials including stainless steel and 18K gold, while some model’s bezels have been crafted in polished ceramic – replicating the look of the original Constellation Manhattan of 1982, which used shiny sapphire glass.

Only one model in the new collection features its own stainless steel bezel, which is enhanced by blackened Roman numerals. For the other models with ceramic bezels, the Roman numerals have been produced in either OMEGA Ceragold or Liquidmetal.
Bevelling along the edges of the case and claws has provided the collection with a more slender look compared to past models, and even the crown has been subtly reshaped for added style. Adding to this effect, the hands have been given a slimline update, and the new indexes take their inspiration from the Manhattan skyline, most notably the triangular facets of the Freedom Tower.
Most of the new 2020 models will be presented on leather straps with an anti-bacterial rubber lining. A decorative metallic link connects each side of the strap to the case, creating a unique look of its own. Those who prefer an overall metallic look can match their new model with any bracelet in the Constellation 39mm collection, or its full leather strap.

Finally, the caseback features sapphire crystal that offers a view of the Omega Master Co-Axial Calibre 8900 / 8901 movement inside. All watches have been Master Chronometer certified by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS).
