1962 Omega Constellation Ref. 14902

Original Black Dial · Automatic Chronometer · Calibre 561 · 34mm

This is Omega at its absolute peak. A 1962 Omega Constellation reference 14902, housing the legendary Omega Automatic Chronometer calibre 561 — one of the finest movements Omega ever produced.

Elegant, understated, and mechanically superb, this is a watch from an era when Omega built timepieces to last generations, not product cycles.

The Watch

• Reference: 14902

• Year: 1962

• Case Size: 34mm (excluding crown)

• Movement: Omega Automatic Chronometer calibre 561

• Dial: Original black dial with applied indices and date window

• Crystal: Correct domed acrylic

• Case: Stainless steel, sharp lugs, excellent original condition

• Strap: High-quality black leather strap, 18mm tapering to 14mm at the buckle

• Accessories: Vintage Omega presentation box

The original black dial is the key attraction here. Black Constellation dials from this period are significantly scarcer than silver examples and increasingly hard to find in untouched condition. The applied markers, cross-hair layout, and classic Constellation script give this watch a refined presence that works just as well with a suit as it does casually.

The Movement – Calibre 561

Inside sits the Omega calibre 561, a chronometer-rated automatic movement renowned for its reliability, accuracy, and durability.

This is the same family of movement that cemented Omega’s reputation in the 1950s and 1960s — copper-finished, beautifully engineered, and designed to be serviced and worn indefinitely.

The watch has been professionally serviced, runs exactly as it should, and is supplied with a Fine Watch Club warranty for complete peace of mind.

Condition

Overall condition is excellent for a 1962 watch:

• Clean, honest case with strong lines

• Original dial with no nonsense or over-restoration

• Correct caseback with Observatory medallion

• Fresh, high-quality strap fitted

Why This Watch Matters

Omega simply do not make watches like this anymore.

The proportions are perfect, the movement is over-engineered by modern standards, and the design is timeless. A modern Omega with equivalent finishing and chronometer pedigree would cost many multiples of this — and still wouldn’t carry the same character.

The Investment Angle

Early Constellations with original black dials and chronometer movements like the calibre 561 have shown consistent long-term appreciation.

Supply is fixed. Demand continues to rise. Good examples are being locked away in collections, not released back to market.

This is a watch you can enjoy daily and feel confident about long term — a genuine asset, not just an accessory.
