Omega Jumbo Constellation Day-Date 29102991
About This Watch:
The Omega Constellation model was first introduced in 1952, as a chronometer timepiece. Undergoing numerous aesthetic changes over the years, from the original pie-pan style dials in the 1950s, the avant-garde integrated bracelets with flat dials of the 1970s, to the Co-Axial Master Chronometers of today, the Constellation line remains as stylish and innovative now, as it was when this late 1960s-early 1970s model was released.
The History: The Omega Company was started by Louis Brandt in 1848, in Le Chaux de Fonds, Switzerland. Brandt’s sons would later expand the company and began to manufacture their own parts, including their first mass-produced calibre movement, the Labrador, in 1884. They continued their work, and a decade later, made the 19-line OMEGA caliber, which gave the company their name. After the turn of the century, Omega became the official timekeeper for several sporting events, which led to their eventual selection as the single timekeeper of the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 1932.
The Watch: The Omega Jumbo Constellation Day-Date Ref 168.045-368.845 has a stainless steel case, with a white gold bezel, and a stainless steel integrated bracelet.
