1954 Omega Constellation Solid Gold 18K / 750 (Ref. 2782) – Serviced – Boxed

An all-time classic from the golden era of Swiss watchmaking. This is a 1954 Omega Constellation, reference 2782, crafted in solid 18-carat (0.750) yellow gold throughout the case. Elegant, restrained, and built to a standard that simply isn’t replicated today.

Collector Notes
This watch features the correct early-1950s flat, decagonal Omega crown (often referred to by collectors as the flat-edge crown). These are period-correct and increasingly hard to find intact, adding quiet originality that seasoned collectors look for.

The Constellation line represents Omega at its most precise and ambitious. These chronometer models were built to compete at the very top of Swiss watchmaking, and it shows in the finishing, balance, and long-term reliability.

Why This Watch

• Solid gold gives real intrinsic value – a natural hedge, not just a badge
• Well-priced vs modern Omega, which no longer offers this level of gold content or classical proportion
• Timeless design that works equally well as a dress watch or understated daily wearer
• Increasingly scarce in this condition, especially serviced and boxed

Omega simply do not make watches like this anymore. This is mechanical heritage, precious metal, and proven design rolled into one discreet, investment-grade piece.

A proper Constellation. No gimmicks. Just quality that’s stood the test of time.
