Omega Constellation Owner Review : Classic, endearing and balanced

My grandfather's legacy. The only thing I have left of him, along with memories. A watch that sat in a drawer for 10 years after his death in 2011, and which I really thought would never restart. The fault was the battery of those damned quartz movements that had leaked... a magician watchmaker sorted it out for me for free, otherwise it would have been back to Omega or more precisely in the drawer... a watch in his image, fine and elegant. He was not materialistic or a watch lover. I remember when I saw him arrive with it on his wrist, in the mid-1990s, he must have been almost 70 years old. A little late pleasure for someone who had known deprivation during the war. I like the finesse and refined sobriety of this Constellation, the great comfort offered by its integrated bracelet and its thickness of 6mm. The full Day Date dials stand out nicely and proportionately against the white enamel dial. This is not exactly my style of watch, as I like rather sporty and automatic watches. It will remain a watch for one man, the one whose images I see again when I look at it or wear it.
