Omega Constellation Ref.396.1080 Vintage Men's Quartz Watch 1990 | Tropical Champagne Dial

Some dials don't age. They evolve.

The Omega Constellation reference 396.1080 is a watch that defined a generation of restrained Swiss elegance. Born from the Manhattan design language with its iconic claw set bezel and engraved Roman numerals, this piece carries every code that made the Constellation Omega's quiet flagship throughout the late eighties and early nineties.

Then there is the dial. What was once a clean silvered surface has matured into a richly speckled champagne, with the warm freckled patina that collectors call tropical. Every tone shift is the result of decades of light, air and quiet wear. No two of these dials age alike, which means the watch on your wrist will never be matched by another. Striking blue hands cut a graphic line across the cream tones, the applied silver dot indices catch the light at every angle, and the date rests discreetly at three.

The stainless steel case retains its original geometry, with the iconic claws at three and nine still defining the silhouette. At 33.5mm in diameter and around 6.5mm thick, this piece wears extremely well on modern wrists looking for something elegant yet with historical weight. It reflects a time when dress watches were more compact but no less ambitious. The integrated steel bracelet ships with extra links so the watch can be sized to fit any wrist, and inside ticks the precise Omega caliber 1441 quartz movement, recently fitted with a fresh battery by its previous owner.

Honest signs of wear on the case sides and bracelet, exactly as expected for a piece of this age. The dial, crystal and case present strongly, with the patina as the clear highlight. It comes with the official club24seven warranty card.
