What does watch maker Omega do to add to an already amazing collection? Make it even more amazing of course! The newly redesigned Constellation line from Omega unveils its latest star. Every constellation in the universe has its brightest stars, and in Omega’s newly-redesigned Constellation line, nothing glitters more brilliantly than the unique and luxurious Constellation Baguette.

Omega Constellation Baguette

The Constellation Baguette has been created with a strong and vivid visual identity – its dial displays a dramatic supernova structure which emanates boldly from the diamond Constellation star on its mother-of-pearl background at 6 o’clock. The one-of-a-kind masterpiece glistens with 459 Top Wesselton diamonds totalling just over 30 carats.

The “invisible” mounting of the 146 baguette and trapeze diamonds on the dial means that no trace of the 18kt white gold used in the creation of its case can be seen between the precious stones.

Since the Omega Constellation Baguette is a one-of-a-kind horological masterpiece, every single one of its 459 beautiful diamonds has been cut exclusively for the watch.

If even just one of the stones needs to be replaced or exchanged, the process can take longer than it would for a series-production watch. Any new diamond will have to be custom-prepared so that it matches the color, clarity, cut and carat size of the stones around it. In fact, due to the absolutely unique nature of the Constellation Baguette, no standard replacement parts can be kept in stock – each one would have to be specially created for this extraordinary timepiece.
