Bokey TimeHello everyone, this is Bokey. The Omega Constellation series is the most classic one in the entire Omega series. The women’s Constellation is very feminine after being worn. When it comes to the replica watches of the Omega Constellation series, the first thing that comes to mind is SSS for short (3S factory). In fact, the earliest manufacturer to make the Constellation is V6 factory. Later, in order to protect the market of Cartier Blue Balloon, the product line of the Constellation series gradually disappeared from the market. With the popularity of the market, some people quit and some people enter. For example, VS factory has also launched the Constellation series, but only the men’s 41mm diameter mechanical model is available. This time, ZF factory has also launched the 27mm series quartz watch for women’s Constellation. Today, I will bring you a deep disassembly and authenticity identification evaluation of the 27mm imitation watch of ZF factory’s Constellation blue mother-of-pearl dial compared with the genuine product.
First of all, let’s take a look at the genuine product parameters:
Omega Constellation series 123.10.24.60.57.001 watch price is 27,900.
The Omega Constellation series 123.10.24.60.57.001 quartz watch has a dial diameter of 27 millimeters. The appearance is delicate and exquisite, very suitable for women’s wrists. The case is made of stainless steel and is equipped with the classic “claw” bezel of the Constellation series, paired with a bracelet with frosted links and polished link rods. The blue mother-of-pearl dial has 12 small diamond scales embedded on the bracket. As Omega, which is very understanding of women’s hearts in the watch industry, its watch is like a beautiful wrist accessory in appearance.
Next, let’s take a look at the differences between the ZF Omega Constellation quartz watch and the genuine product through several groups of comparison pictures? Is there any obvious flaw that can be recognized at a glance?
In overall comparison, if there is no label, the two are basically indistinguishable. The ZF Omega Constellation quartz women’s model is made in a 1:1 ratio with the genuine product. The dial diameter is 27 millimeters. The small dial diameter is more suitable for women’s slender wrists. The overall color scheme and the outer case are all made of stainless steel. The dial color is blue mother-of-pearl. The inner circle set with diamonds is as fascinating as the constellation. It is very unique and has the unique charm of women. There is also a white mother-of-pearl model in the same series. The white one is more transparent and girly, and the blue one is more charming.
Bokey also found pictures from Watch Home for everyone’s reference. Interested friends can also go to the official counter to check whether Bokey said is true.
The watch glass of ZF Constellation uses the same arc-shaped double-sided anti-reflective sapphire crystal glass mirror as the genuine product, with high scratch resistance and wear resistance.
Next, let’s disassemble the two watches for a more detailed and intuitive comparison. The structure and number of components of the two watches are the same. Whether it is the installation order or the after-sales maintenance steps, they are all in sync with the genuine product.
In character comparison, the blue mother-of-pearl dial gives a romantic and charming feeling. The texture design of the dial like river branches is very unique. ZF uses deep-sea mother-of-pearl, not ordinary river mussel. However, in terms of texture, it is still a bit disappointing. It doesn’t have the dazzling luster of the genuine product.
The tiny Omega resistance logo is well made and can be comparable to the genuine product after special process decoration. The font size is also the same as the genuine product. The hour markers of ZF are composed of twelve top Swarovski crystals inlaid by hand. The shape of each crystal is exactly the same as the genuine product, and the gloss is also very close. Although it is a watch, it also satisfies women’s love for diamonds.
There is a constellation exclusive star above the 6 o’clock position, with a strong three-dimensional effect. The three-dimensional effect is very strong, the production is very delicate, and the position and size are consistent with the genuine product.
The sword-shaped stainless steel pointer with imported luminous powder filled inside is simple and atmospheric. The shape and size of ZF are consistent with the genuine product.
How to identify the authenticity of Omega Constellation
The case is composed of a bezel, a middle case and a back cover. The Roman scale engraving on the bezel. The ZF font is slightly shallower than the genuine product, and the engraving is not as deep as the genuine product. This is also a small flaw of ZF factory’s Constellation. Of course, it can only be seen by comparing with the genuine product.
The middle case is polished, and there are fine brushed processes on both sides. The gloss is very beautiful. The internal processing of the case is sophisticated and neat, which greatly improves the stability of the movement and escorts the travel time.
In side comparison, the side lines and structure of the case of ZF Constellation and the genuine product, as well as the iconic “eagle claw” shape of the constellation are all exactly the same. The middle layer of the case is semi-arc-shaped, and the elegant arc extends all the way to the lugs.
The crown position is engraved with the classic Omega logo, with the same three-dimensional and roundness as the original.
In terms of thickness, by measuring, the thickness of the genuine product is 9.5mm, and the thickness of ZF factory’s Constellation is also 9.5mm. The size data are all the same.
The back of the Omega Constellation adopts a closed bottom design. Comparing the following pictures, it can be seen that the bottom cover of ZF Constellation is very well made. The details are also very refined. The bottom cover is made of brushed process. Every detail is in place. The embossed pattern is full and round, and the little star is vivid and three-dimensional.
The English font on the top of the back cover is integrated with the brushed process. The font is the same as the original. The English font is translated as constellation, which better highlights the brand awareness.
The inside of the back cover is also a one-to-one restoration of the genuine product details without any ambiguity.
The biggest highlight of ZF Constellation is that the movement is equipped with the same Cal.1376 movement as the original. This CAl.1376 quartz belongs to a quartz in Switzerland. After purchasing it, the same steel stamp as the original is added. So it is difficult to detect the authenticity even if the cover is opened, because the movements are of the same model. Women do not like the satisfaction brought by the mechanical sense of watches like men. Moreover, quartz watches do not need to be wound, and the movement will not be damaged. The travel time is accurate and stable, so you can wear it with confidence. Girls only need to be responsible for being beautiful.
The strap is a solid stainless steel horizontal strip chain strap. The weight is moderate and has a strong sense of presence. ZF will never cut corners on materials. The frosted links and the finely polished link rods are alternated. The gloss and texture are equivalent to the genuine product. The edges of the watch links are all decorated with micro chamfers, bringing the same smooth and comfortable wearing feeling as the original. The biggest disadvantage of the whole steel strap of ZF is that it is a little longer than the genuine product. I hope this defect will be upgraded in later versions.
The watch chain is paired with a butterfly buckle, and the structure is synchronized with the original; the button of the buckle has a smooth touch, which does not delay wearing and practicality.
Zoom in on the details. There is a small difference between the two on the logo of the buckle. The genuine product is 18k gold with a frosted design inside. ZF is gold-plated, and the frosted effect is not as obvious as the genuine product.
The engraved logo inside the buckle of ZF Constellation is clear. Because the genuine product has been used, the font color is darker than that of ZF factory’s Constellation.
Summary: Whether it is the soft lines, the diamonds on the bezel, or the charming claw waves, these structural elements have made the Constellation series the most recognizable fashion women’s watch, and it also caters to the noble and elegant feelings that every woman pursues. The ZF Omega Constellation series blue mother-of-pearl dial is a watch with very high recognition. While having high appearance, the performance is also very stable. Compared with Cartier, this watch has more of its own characteristics.
