Omega Constellation 355.0814 / 155.0021 NOS

This Omega Constellation 2000 Ultra-Thin, reference 355.0814 / 155.0021, from the 1970s stands out for its New Old Stock (NOS) condition, rare dark brown dial with applied Roman numerals, and unusual combination of stainless steel and gold inlays. Particularly remarkable are the perfectly preserved original case finish, the virtually unworn integrated Omega bracelet, and the original hangtag. A fascinating example of one of the most distinctive Constellation models of this era.

The history of the Omega Constellation began in 1952. While the early models were characterized by classic round cases, Omega increasingly experimented with new, avant-garde designs during the 1970s. With its futuristic appearance, this Constellation is one of the most interesting results of that creative period.

One of the distinctive features of this reference is its elaborate case construction. The gold elements are integrated into the case and individual bracelet links as 14-karat gold inlays. This unusual combination of materials gives the watch its unmistakable character and required a high level of manufacturing precision.

The dark brown dial of this Constellation is preserved in flawless original condition. The applied gold-tone Roman numerals at 12 and 6 o'clock, the delicate baton markers at 3 and 9 o'clock, and the slender gold-tone hands create a beautiful contrast against the warm brown dial. This so-called Brown Roman Dial configuration is among the rarer dial variations of reference 355.0814. While most examples were fitted with black dials, the brown version with applied Roman numerals is documented exclusively on the two-tone stainless steel and gold models.

The absolute highlight of this Omega is undoubtedly its exceptional, untouched state of preservation. The watch is in New Old Stock (NOS) condition and shows practically no signs of wear. The original brushed surfaces and sharp case edges are perfectly preserved. Particularly impressive is the original integrated Omega stainless steel bracelet with its continuous gold inlays, which is also in like-new condition.

With a case thickness of just approximately 8 mm, this watch sits comfortably on the wrist. This remarkably slim profile is made possible by the exceptionally thin automatic Omega caliber 711, which itself measures only around 3 mm in height. It is particularly impressive that Omega managed to accommodate a fully automatic movement within a case whose slender silhouette is more reminiscent of a quartz watch.

Another special feature is the original Omega hangtag, which bears the reference number, caliber, and matching movement serial number. This historical accessory is accompanied by the original Omega seal bearing the Italian inscription "Cassa Omega in Oro – Controllo d'Origine".

An exceptionally beautiful Omega Constellation 2000 Ultra-Thin, distinguished by its rare brown dial variation, elaborate stainless steel and gold construction, and remarkable NOS condition. A characterful collector's piece that perfectly captures the creative and technically experimental spirit of Omega's history.
