Sorry to say that but I think compare to the Vintage one, Modern Constellation line is ugly and look horrible..., I can't image a men wearing it (sorry it just my opinion)
What did Omega do with its flagship line?

Some pic

I'm with you. I can't stand them. I'd rather have a Piaget Polo and that's saying something.

beshannon · 3 June 2013, 10:33 PM

The modern version is awful.

I would love to see a remake of the pie pan dial with a co axial movement

Andad · 3 June 2013, 10:34 PM

Hmmm.
These are some of my favourite Omegas.

A bit better than replicaswissnet?

KeepTicking · 3 June 2013, 11:32 PM

The current constellation lineup does nothing for me.

iloveomegawatch · 3 June 2013, 11:38 PM

Actually I think it is more suitable for Lady
P/S: It just me or Nicole Kidman wear it very well...

samarth1 · 4 June 2013, 01:32 AM

I certainly think Omega missed a trick or two with their current Constellation line. They could've have set it up and billed it as their flagship dress watches, to compete with the likes of the JLC Master Control and GO Senator Automatic, but instead its kind of a forgotten step-child amidst all the Speedmasters and Seamasters. I guess they've just gravitated towards where the money is coming from, but I for one would certainly like to see Omega revive the constellations of the past with a perfect homage to the 50s and 60s.

francis · 4 June 2013, 07:11 AM

Definitely do not like the newer ones... LOVE the vintage constellation though

Watchflair · 4 June 2013, 09:03 AM

Ehh too many other options at that price point

rodrob59 · 4 June 2013, 11:47 AM

I can't understand why the present design has had had so long a life. It's not just ugly, it's fugly.

Watchflair · 4 June 2013, 12:02 PM

Might be a big seller in mid east and Asia. Seems to be the demographic I see wearing them for the most part.

AzPaul · 4 June 2013, 12:36 PM

Not a fan.

+1.

Yet I hear its amongst their biggest sellers in China, which is a huge portion of their market. So that explains its continued existence in the Omega lineup.

They're super popular in Asia and their design is no mistake. They're not to my taste in the least, but they aren't designed to be.

That chrono is a beauty!

steveclocks · 8 June 2013, 06:57 AM

Spotted this one some time ago and must confess I rather like it ....sorry guys

igatomic · 8 June 2013, 08:01 AM

I prefer the look of my vintgae pie pan to the new look...

WJGESQ · 9 June 2013, 08:19 AM

It's for 80s fashion models.

iloveomegawatch · 12 June 2013, 09:37 PM

when will they re-design it ?

SixPak · 12 June 2013, 09:50 PM

My modern Constellation double eagle.

The GMT Master · 13 June 2013, 02:00 AM

The current manhattan style Constellation is here to stay, it's as iconic as a sub or datejust in Asian markets. De ville covers the classic constellation look in the current range

SearChart · 13 June 2013, 02:19 AM

Pie Pan vintage is my favourite constellation, the modern ones are ugly.

FeelingTheBlues · 13 June 2013, 08:41 PM

I have tried a modern constellation once at an Omega AD and must admit I quite liked it, it may look a tad more "feminine" to some but on my small wrists I must say I found the looks pretty nice.

...Of course, that would be if I wanted to go with a modern Omega as I'd much prefer a vintage Pie-Pan or something else, I just love vintage watches too much.

GermanyMatt · 13 June 2013, 08:50 PM

Agree the current constellation design is terrible - I have no idea why Omega doesn't take this watch and turn it into the classic it has always been. The "sedna" rose gold model is interesting, but still has flaws AND it's too small at 38mm. Agree this watch is far more suited to women than men - maybe that's their target buyer..
All they really need to do is take the 50's pie-pan version of the Constellation, increase the size to 40-42mm, install the Cal 8500, and they'd have a winner. It's almost too easy.
