Omega Constellation 1961 “Pie Pan” Automatic Chronometer – Ref. 14393 – Cal. 561

A superb example of one of Omega’s most iconic vintage designs—the Constellation “Pie Pan.” Dating to 1961, this piece represents the golden era of Omega watchmaking, powered by the highly regarded calibre 561 automatic chronometer movement.

The dial is clean, crisp, and beautifully preserved, paired with the classic faceted “Pie Pan” design that collectors actively seek. Combined with the original case proportions and elegant lugs, this is a watch that wears far beyond its 34mm size.

This Omega Constellation 1961 has been overhauled and refurbished to a high standard, this example presents as close to mint as you will realistically find for a watch of this age.

Why This Watch Matters

This is Omega at its peak. The Constellation line was their flagship—chronometer-certified, precision-focused, and built to last. The calibre 561 is one of the finest movements Omega ever produced: reliable, smooth, and genuinely built for decades of use.

The “Pie Pan” dial isn’t just a nickname—it’s a design signature. Once you know it, you don’t confuse it with anything else. Collectors look for this specifically.

On the Wrist

Modelled on a 17.5cm wrist, and as always with these vintage Omegas, it wears larger than the stated size thanks to the case design and lug profile. Slim, elegant, and versatile—this works just as well with a suit as it does casually.
