The Omega Constellation Ref. 2852 is a representative model from the late 1950s and an important piece in the early era of the Constellation line. It features a distinctive case design with unique lugs and a three-dimensional pie-pan dial, both of which are defining characteristics of the period. The watch is powered by the chronometer-certified automatic Caliber 505, a high-grade movement used in Omega’s top models of the time, known for its accuracy and durability.
The dial has developed an ivory tone with attractive aging and retains its original pie-pan structure with a stepped profile from the center to the outer edge, giving it strong visual depth. The hands and indexes are executed in a gold-tone combination of wedge-shaped indices and dauphine hands.
The caseback features the signature Observatory medallion, and the overall construction of the case remains solid and well-defined. The watch is fitted with the Omega original beads-of-rice bracelet, Ref. 1036 / 11, which complements the case design and offers excellent wearing comfort.
This example combines key traits that define early Constellation models—pie-pan dial and wedge indexes—making it a particularly desirable configuration among collectors.
