Almost 40 years since it launched the Constellation Manhattan, Omega reinvents this unique timepiece for today’s women.
A symbol of unrivalled precision and beauty in watchmaking: this is how renowned watch manufacture Omega describes its now-iconic Constellation Manhattan wristwatch for women. When it was first introduced in 1982, the Manhattan ushered in a new era for the Constellation: not only was it updated with a look befitting the contemporary woman, but it was also equipped with technological advancements that greatly enhanced its precision.
Indeed, the very design of the Manhattan is the one most associated with the Constellation. In the original model, the claws that have become its key design elements were there to hold the watch’s sapphire crystal and gasket against the case to make it water-resistant. Sporting a barrel-shaped case incised with half-moon facets, along with a perfectly circular dial and indexes on its bezel, its design was considered unusual and revolutionary for its time.
Nearly four decades on, Omega has reinvented this iconic piece of haute horologerie yet again—for the bold, beautiful, strong-souled women of a new millennium as seen in the qualities of its four brand ambassadors: celebrated supermodel Cindy Crawford, award-winning actress Nicole Kidman, Brazilian model-actress Alessandra Ambrosio, and one of China’s most bankable young actresses, Liu Shishi. Each of the 101 models in the 2018 Constellation Manhattan collection captures their strength, beauty, and dedication to delivering a magnificent performance at all times.
While the 2018 collection stays true to the Manhattan’s iconic design, the line has been given a full yet subtle makeover.
