£1,750

A true icon of Swiss watchmaking: this vintage Omega Constellation Pie Pan represents the very pinnacle of Omega’s mid-century production and remains one of the most important and collectible dress watches ever made.

Produced in an era when accuracy, longevity, and craftsmanship came before trends, this Constellation is a watch that has already stood the test of time – and is built to last another lifetime.

Why the Constellation Pie Pan Matters

The Pie Pan dial is one of the most celebrated designs in horology. Named for its subtly faceted, stepped dial edge, it was created specifically for Omega’s flagship chronometer line and is instantly recognisable to collectors.

During the 1950s and 1960s, the Constellation range sat at the very top of Omega’s catalogue. These watches were built to commemorate Omega’s dominance at the Geneva Observatory chronometer trials, where precision was measured, not marketed.

Omega simply does not make watches like this anymore.

Case, Dial & Design

• Case size: 34mm – classic, timeless proportions
• Dial: Original silver Pie Pan dial with applied indices
• Hands & markers: Original, period-correct, beautifully aged
• Caseback: Observatory medallion celebrating Omega’s chronometer success
• Crystal: Acrylic, correct for the period

The design is restrained, elegant, and purposeful – nothing unnecessary, nothing oversized. This is vintage Omega at its most refined.

Movement

• Movement: Omega automatic chronometer-certified calibre
• Certification: Chronometer (a serious technical achievement at the time)
• Power reserve: Approx. 24 hours
• Service status: Running well
• Service interval: Approx. every 10 years

In its day, owning a chronometer-certified watch was a mark of quality and status. These were precision instruments, not fashion accessories.

Strap & Presentation

• Strap: Quality Brown leather strap, 18mm – we can change for black or brown if preferred
• Box: Supplied with its original Omega box 

The box shows honest age and is missing its inner cushion, but remains a valuable and desirable addition. For vintage Omega, having the original box – even with wear – is increasingly uncommon and adds genuine collector appeal.

Condition

• Very good overall condition for its age
• Original dial with attractive, even patina
• Honest vintage watch with no over-restoration

Investment & Collectability

The Omega Constellation Pie Pan has become one of the most sought-after vintage Omega references:

• Finite supply
• Strong collector demand
• Increasing appreciation for original, unpolished examples

As collectors move away from oversized modern watches, classic 34mm chronometer pieces like this continue to gain recognition and long-term appeal.

Fine Watch Club Assurance

• Carefully inspected and authenticated
• Honest descriptions, no fluff
• 12-month time warranty
• Secure, insured shipping
• Specialist after-sales support

Final Word

This is not just a watch – it is a piece of Swiss watchmaking history. A reminder of a time when Omega built watches to be accurate, elegant, and repairable for generations.

At £1,750, this Constellation Pie Pan offers heritage, craftsmanship, and collectability that modern watches at many times the price simply cannot replicate.
