The 1952 Omega Constellation represents the beginning of one of Omega’s most prestigious and enduring lines, introduced in the early 1950s as the brand’s premier chronometer-rated wristwatch, celebrating its success in precision timekeeping trials. 

This example, reference 2652SC, is particularly special, housed in a scarce solid 18k rose gold case—a material seldom encountered from this period. While certain photographs can give the impression of yellow gold, in hand the case reveals a beautiful, warm rosy pink tone that adds a distinctive richness and elegance. 

The dial is equally striking, featuring sharply faceted applied arrow markers whose subtle geometry creates a bold visual statement, catching light from every angle without overwhelming the design. 

Powering the watch is the Omega calibre 354 bumper automatic movement, freshly serviced by our watchmaker and running well, offering a uniquely engaging experience on the wrist with its gentle, rhythmic “bump” that connects the wearer to the mechanics within. 

Altogether, this Constellation is a refined and rare expression of Omega’s early chronometer heritage, blending understated design with exceptional character.

The serial on this begins begins with 13xxxxxx dating this watch to 1952.
