Many collectors regard the Omega Constellation “pie pan dog leg” as one of the most iconic vintage constellations and I completely agree. The nickname “pie pan” comes from the dial resembling a pie pan turned upside down. The middle of the dial has a sunburst pattern, surrounded by applied markers with onyx inlay. In my opinion, the pie pan dials found in vintage Constellations are among the most beautiful dials to be found in any vintage watch. The dog legged case was designed by the legendary watch designer Gerald Genta, who later designed more iconic watches like the Patek Philippe Nautilus and Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. In my opinion, condition is everything when it comes to this reference. These cases have so much angles, that any severe polishing would completely take away everything that makes this design so outstanding. This watch has a sharp case with all the angles still sharp and visible. The watch has been fully serviced and is ready for the wrist of a true Omega connoisseur.
