The Omega Constellation Gene Pool

Omega Centenary Watch
This post has been a long time coming and traces the origins of the original Omega Constellation concept back to its roots in 1943.

The larger focus is on the Omega Centenary produced to celebrate Omega's 100 years of manufacturing history.

This is a 'living' essay, and while I have been at pains to provide as accurate a review as possible of these early models, there is always the potential for error when delving into the detail of Omega history and horology. So, please feel free to offer any insights that will add to its substance or greater accuracy.

Also if you would like to have your Centenary featured in the essay, please let me know.

Compiling this essay must have been a great deal of work and it really is a pleasure to read through it. Great work on a really beautiful Omega model. I haven't ever seen the Centenary "live" anywhere.
