Design
- Case and Dial
- The watch features a tonneau-shaped case crafted in yellow gold, measuring 35mm in diameter. A characteristic element of the design is the finely fluted bezel, which adds texture to the watch exterior. The case shape is representative of the late-1960s Constellation series. The dial is rendered in a champagne color and features a linen-like texture. Applied baton markers and matching hands are used for the time display. A day-date complication is housed in a framed aperture at the three o'clock position. An applied Constellation star is located on the dial face above the six o'clock marker. The dial bears the text 'T SWISS MADE T' at the bottom.

- Movement and Function
- The movement is an automatic, chronometer-certified caliber manufactured by Omega. The manufacturer adjusted the movement to meet the standards of the Constellation flagship collection. This mechanical assembly provides both timekeeping and day-date indications. The watch functions as an everyday timepiece, with the day-date aperture providing practical utility without altering the balance of the watch design.
- Configuration and Attributions
- The watch is completed by a brown alligator leather strap. The strap is fastened with a gold-tone pin buckle. This configuration is intended to coordinate with the warm tones of the yellow gold case and the champagne dial. It is identified as a representative of the Omega Constellation collection, which was introduced in 1952 as a flagship dress watch range.
