The fifth-generation Constellation of this Omega has changed its previous size. The brand-new 41mm case diameter, combined with the black ceramic bezel design, has a strong formal sports style. It can be matched universally whether worn daily or outdoors. Perhaps it is because 41mm has good comfort for both Europeans and Asians. The new models of Rolex in 2020 have also become 41mm.
The on-hand effect can be seen to be very good. The material is made of fine steel, with fine polishing and subtle brushed textures. The Roman numeral scales on the ceramic bezel are also restored 1:1, and then filled with liquid metal. Compared with ordinary painted scales, it is more resistant to dirt and scratches, and it also has a unique luster.
This 41mm stainless steel watch is paired with a black polished ceramic bezel, Liquidmetal™ Roman numeral hour markers and a black sunburst dial. There is a calendar window at the 6 o’clock position. The hands, Omega brand logo, star emblem logo and arched hour markers are all rhodium-plated. The timeless and charming design of the Omega Constellation series watch is fully reflected in the classic half-moon cut on the side of the case and the “claws”.
The black dial has clear and three-dimensional lettering. Every letter is strictly replicated compared to the genuine product. It is very rigorous. Only in this way can a truly top-level replica be made. The design inspiration of the hands and hour markers comes from the triangular cut of the Freedom Tower in New York. At the 6 o’clock position is the calendar window.
On both sides of the side crown are the iconic claw designs of the Constellation, which can better protect the case. The Omega logo is also engraved on the top of the crown. The SBF factory restores it very well.
From the see-through case back of the movement, we can see the 8900 movement. The Arabic-style Geneva stripes decoration, black-plated screws and balance wheel, combined with red lettering, are the decorative characteristics of Omega movements, taking into account both aesthetics and practicality.
As for the strength of the VS factory (SBF factory) in the research and development of replica watch movements, I don’t need to say more. The classic P9000 and P9001 movements of Panerai, the 3235 movement of Rolex with 72-hour power reserve, and the 8500/8800/8900/8906 of Omega are all its exclusive research and development and top-level restoration in the industry. It can be said that this 8900 movement is also easy to handle!
The strap also has a sporty style. It has a natural rubber lining and the outside is made of black cowhide material. This is also the common tape configuration for luxury sports watches now. The outside cowhide is not obtrusive when matched with formal wear. In addition, the watch is equipped with a folding clasp.
